The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged our society and the world in a variety of ways, with more than 500 million confirmed cases world-wide and 6 million deaths. The country has now had more than 80 million cases and 900,000 deaths from COVID-19, while New York itself has had more than 5 million cases and more than 68,000 deaths.(see the Johns Hopkins interactive map for details)
Fortunately over the last year much has been learned about Covid-19, and solutions have begun to be available. The Newburgh Library has assembled this guide to help you find reliable sources for information regarding these, and other aspects of dealing with the disease.
Since late last year several vaccines have become available to help prevent the spread of the disease and lesson severity in case of infection. More than 11 billion doses of vaccine have been given, world-wide. in the U.S. more than 570 million doses of vaccine have been delivered, and more than 39 million in New York. 77.1% of the population of New York is considered to be fully vaccinated, and 87.1% of the population over the age of 18.
In the top box on this page we've collected links to information on receiving the vaccine for Covid-19 here in New York.
In the other tabs, accessible above, we have links to health authorities,, national and local government sources and area libraries that can keep you informed, help you evaluate whether to get vaccinated, take precautions, and suggest fun and helpful ways to spend our time while social distancing.
