NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- The COVID-19 test positivity rate in the focus areas under New York State's micro-cluster strategy, where the outbreaks are targeted for its severity and potential of spread, was 5.65 percent on Friday, slightly down from 5.69 percent one day earlier, said Governor Andrew Cuomo on Saturday.
Friday has been the third time that the prime coronavirus rate surpassed the mark of 5 percent in days. This level has been topped most recently on Thursday and Tuesday. Further back, the rate lingered over 5 percent prior to mid-October, according to the statistics released by the state government.
