“#NYC sees few hospitalized amid Delta COVID variant<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

COVID-19 cases in the Big App<\/a>le are spiking as the Delta variant spreads \u2014 but so far it\u2019s sending relatively few New Yorkers to the hospital.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday, city health department statistics<\/a> show a seven-day average of hospitalizations in the five boroughs at 29 \u2014 while the seven-day average for new cases stood at 976. <\/p>\n

Health experts said nearly all of the new cases are among non-vaccinated New Yorkers.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the widespread existence of Delta, I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to see the kind of hospitalization rates that we\u2019ve had before,\u201d Dr. Jessica Justman, an associate professor of epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, told The City<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do think that the vaccines are going to keep a lot of people protected from severe illness, hospitalizations and death,\u201d Justman said. \u201cIf we didn\u2019t have a vaccine, we would be seeing a much bigger increase in hospitalizations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Approximately 65 percent of adult New Yorkers are fully vaccinated, city records show.<\/p>\n

According to a review by The City, the five boroughs have seen a 238-percent increase in new cases since July 1, as the highly contagious variant invades the city. <\/p>\n

But the month has also seen just a 25-percent rise in hospitalizations.<\/p>\n

By comparison, the number of new cases in November, when an earlier COVID wave hit the city, rose by 180 percent and hospitalizations by 129 percent.<\/p>\n

Pockets of the city, primarily Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn, including Canarsie, have seen a larger growth in new cases, the outlet said. <\/p>\n

In Canarsie and Great Kills, just 36 percent of residents are vaccinated, well below the city average, according to The City. <\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio has ramped up vaccination efforts in the city, even announcing a $100 reward for residents who get inoculated. <\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the mayor expanded the city\u2019s vaccination mandate to cover the entire city workforce amid the spread of Delta. <\/p>\n

A report by The Post this week found that less than half of staffers at city agencies have been fully vaccinated against coronavirus.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
