The U.S. state of New York confirmed a record number of daily infections for the fourth straight day, with Omicron now accounting for 90% of cases.  

Albany, December 22 (RHC)-- The U.S. state of New York confirmed a record number of daily infections for the fourth straight day, with Omicron now accounting for 90% of cases.  

Among those testing positive was Dr. Mary Bassett, New York’s acting health commissioner.  Bassett, who is fully vaccinated and received a booster shot, reported no symptoms.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said earlier this week that the Omicron surge could peak within a few weeks.  He said the city will rely on more testing and a vaccine mandate for private businesses rather than another wide-scale lockdown.

Mayor de Blasio told reporters: ”COVID is bad for business.  Shutdowns are bad for business. Restrictions are bad for business.  We can’t let that happen again.  And so the mandates that we put in place are the way forward.”
