Albany County COVID-19 update, 1 new death

Albany County Executive Dan McCoy announced Saturday an increase of one new positive COVID case in the county overnight. The total amount of cases now 24,375.

There was one new COVID-related death overnight, a woman in her 70s. The county’s death toll now stands at 384 since the outbreak began.

“Sadly, we have lost another Albany County resident to the virus and I extend my sympathy to her family and friends,” said McCoy. “As our vaccinated numbers continue to improve, COVID-19 is still responsible for the deaths of 384 members of our Albany County family and this needs to stop. Our best defense is for everyone to get their vaccination so we can win this war against the virus.”
