Monroe County on Monday is reporting 289 new cases of COVID-19. That number is a lot lower than the recent average, but the Monroe County Department of Public Health says that significantly fewer tests were reported over the weekend, which could account for the significantly lower number of positive cases compared to recent days. There were no new deaths.

The seven-day rolling average of new cases is 589 new cases per day.

The seven-day rolling average positivity rate for Monroe County is 9.8%.

There are 930 people in the Finger Lakes Region hospitalized; 146 of them are in ICU.
