Positive test rate
The positive test rate, in combination with other data, is the primary measure the city and state use to target resources and restrictions. The state's "micro-cluster" zones are based on the positivity rate reaching certain thresholds for 10 or more days. While the state calculates the positivity rate differently from the city and at a more detailed level than ZIP codes, the city ZIP code data gives a sense of where positive test rates have been high and remain high.
Tracking over time
Since the city saw its first positive coronavirus test on March 1, the number of tests, new cases, deaths and hospitalizations has varied over time, influenced by city and state government measures as well as precautions taken by New Yorkers. See the most recent numbers below or select a time range.
Vaccinations
New York City receives an allocation of vaccines from the state based on population. All people 12 and older are currently eligible.

Cases and tests
While no one number can reflect the current spread of COVID-19, a combination of the number of people getting tested and the rate of positive tests can indicate how the spread is changing.
