There were no new deaths, keeping the total at 350 to date.

The seven-day rolling average positivity rate for the county is 7.35%. The seven-day rolling average of new cases is 563 new cases per day.

In the nine-county Finger Lakes Region, 545 people are hospitalized with 98 of them in the ICU. According to data released Monday by Governor Andrew Cuomo, 30% of hospital beds are available in the Finger Lakes region, and 62% of the ICU beds.
