Dear Neighbor,



I hope that you are enjoying the Spring season and taking advantage of the
milder temperatures to get out and enjoy the blooming flowers and trees. In
Albany, my colleagues in the State Legislature and I are working hard on
finalizing legislative matters as we near the end of the Legislative
session. Part of that work has involved looking at ways that we can fortify
abortion rights and access in New York.



*Abortion Rights in Extreme Jeopardy*

On May 2, Politico reported on a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion
<[link removed]>
indicating a majority of justices may vote to overturn *Roe v. Wade*. This
outcome is not definite nor final; however, it was heavy news to hear for
individuals who have fought so hard for a woman’s right to autonomy over
her body, for equality, and the right to access comprehensive reproductive
health care. I am proud to say that New York is committed to providing
abortion services to New Yorkers and refugees from other states who seek
care. I would like to thank Governor Hochul for approving a $35 million
investment to support abortion providers in New York. Please click here to
view the virtual press conference
<[link removed]>. If you are looking for an
opportunity to stand up for reproductive rights and have your voice heard,
a rally is being held on Saturday, May 14 in New York City. Please click
here for additional information <[link removed]>
.



Before shifting to COVID-19 updates, I also want to share information about
pediatric cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin that have been
reported in Europe and the U.S.





*Pediatric Cases of Acute Hepatitis of Unknown Origin*

As you may have heard, public health authorities in Europe and the U.S.
have reported outbreaks of severe hepatitis of unknown origin in young
children. In the U.S., at least 109 cases are being investigated in 25
states and territories, including New York. A majority of the children were
hospitalized, a number of children have required a liver transplant, and
sadly, 5 children have died. The CDC has sent a public health advisory to
health care providers to ensure they are aware and report possible cases.
As you can see, the number of nationwide cases is small so at this point,
however, it is helpful to be aware of hepatitis symptoms, which include
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, and
joint pain. Additional symptoms that may present later on include dark
urine, light-colored stools, and jaundice. For additional details, please
see the following CNBC article
<[link removed]>.
*If you are uncertain about symptoms your child is experiencing, please
speak with your child’s Pediatrician.*

and Vaccine Eligibility Information.



A variety of useful City, State, and Federal updates are provided further
below in the email.





*COVID-19 & Omicron Updates*

As of Monday, May 2, *New York City’s COVID-19 Alert level increased to
“yellow/medium”* due to the Citywide case rate rising above 200 new cases
per 100,000 people in the preceding 7 days. Our COVID-19 case rate
continues to increase throughout the City, which is due in part to recent
holiday gatherings and travel, and there has also been a slight increase in
hospitalizations.



On May 9, 6,575 people tested positive for COVID-19 in NYS and 2,216
individuals tested positive in NYC. The statewide 7-day average of cases
per 100K was 47.96. The highest 7-day average was 62.43 in Western NY and
the average in NYC was 43.88. According to NYS hospitalization data, as of
May 9, there were 2,369 people hospitalized statewide due to COVID-19, with
217 individuals in the ICU. In NYC, there were 636 Coronavirus patients
hospitalized, with 68 individuals in the ICU.



According to NYS COVID-19 variant data, the Omicron BA.1.1 sub-variant is
causing .9% of cases, BA.2 and BA.2.12 are causing 54.9% of cases, and
BA.2.12.1 is causing 43.2% of cases. The newest sub-variant, BA.2.12.1, is
approximately 27% more contagious than BA.2 and is rapidly spreading
throughout the U.S. BA.2.12.1 has not been found to cause more severe
health outcomes to date. According to outbreak.info
<[link removed]>,
BA.2 has been found in at least 118 countries and in all U.S. states.



Now that NYC is at a yellow/medium COVID-19 alert level, it is especially
important to follow the safety measures that we know help to manage
Coronavirus case rates and protect public health: stay up to date with
COVID-19 vaccinations; wear a mask in public indoor settings, regardless of
vaccination status; hold social gatherings outside as much as possible; get
tested before and after travel/gatherings, if you experience symptoms, and
if you are exposed to someone who has the Coronavirus; stay home if you are
sick; and if you test positive for COVID-19, speak with your health care
provider to see if you are eligible for treatment.



*As a friendly reminder*, it is necessary to start COVID-19 treatment, if
eligible, within a short window of time after contracting the Coronavirus.
Please make sure to get tested at your earliest convenience if you develop
symptoms or are exposed.





*COVID-19 Vaccine Updates: Moderna Requests Authorization of COVID-19
Vaccine for Children Under Age 6; FDA Limits the Authorized Use of the
Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine*



· *Moderna Requests Authorization of COVID-19 Vaccine for Children
Under Age 6:* On April 28, Moderna announced that it had asked the FDA for
emergency use authorization of its vaccine for use with children under the
age of 6. As reported by the New York Times
<[link removed]>,
Moderna anticipated that data would be provided in full by May 9. On April
29, the FDA announced
<[link removed]>
that June 8, 21, and 22 have been reserved for the FDA Advisory Council to
discuss authorizing the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for younger children;
however, the FDA indicated that Moderna’s data will be reviewed in June
<[link removed]>
whether or not Pfizer has submitted its data. I will provide updates as new
information becomes available.



· *FDA Limits the Authorized Use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19
Vaccine: *As of May 5, the FDA limited the authorized use of the Johnson &
Johnson vaccine to individuals age 18+ who are unable to access other
COVID-19 vaccines, or for whom other vaccines are not clinically
appropriate, as well as to individuals age 18+ who choose to receive the
Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine out of necessity to get vaccinated
against the Coronavirus. Click here to view the FDA press release
<[link removed]>.
The FDA decision does not impact access to COVID-19 vaccinations, as most
City-run and private vaccine sites administer the Moderna and/or Pfizer
vaccine. Furthermore, the CDC had previously issued the recommendation that
individuals get the Moderna or Pfizer booster shot, even if they received
the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for their initial vaccine series.





*COVID-19 Policy & Guidance Updates: Current Mask Requirements*



· *Current Mask Requirements: *As you are likely aware, on April
18, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the CDC mask
mandate on airplanes and other modes of public transportation, including
trains, buses, and subways. Shortly afterwards, the U.S. Department of
Justice filed an appeal of the ruling due to the CDC assessment that mask
wearing continues to be essential to protecting public health. In the
meantime, the federal mask mandate has ceased to be enforced; however, the
New York State mask mandate remains in effect. The State mandate requires
mask wearing on public transportation, including taxis and for-hire
vehicles; in health care settings; in Adult Care Facilities; in
correctional facilities and detention centers; and in homeless and other
shelters. See the Commissioner’s Determination on Masking in Certain Indoor
Settings
<[link removed]>
for additional details. Furthermore, the CDC has continued to urge mask
wearing on airplanes and other forms of public transportation, and issued a
media statement on May 3, detailing the CDC Recommendation for Masks and
Travel <[link removed]>.



Mask wearing continues to be an essential safety measure, as well as part
of the layered approach to managing COVID-19 case rates, protecting public
health, and preventing our health care systems from becoming overwhelmed;
especially while children under age 5 are unable to get vaccinated against
the Coronavirus, global vaccination rates remain low, and we continue to
face highly contagious variants with the potential for additional surges.
Although we are all ready for the pandemic to be over, it is not, and if we
act as though it is, the pandemic will only last longer. Please remember to
wear a high-quality mask (kf94, kn95, or n95) or a double mask for
sufficient protection against the highly contagious variants that are
circulating in the region.





*COVID-19 Treatment*

As mentioned above, our hospitalization and fatality rates have not
increased to date, which the NYC Health Department attributes to the
COVID-19 vaccines and treatment. The best way to prevent getting COVID-19
and Long COVID is to get vaccinated and follow the other core safety
measures. However, COVID-19 treatments are also important, as they provide
life-saving treatment for people who contract the Coronavirus and are at
higher risk of severe illness. I want to make sure that you know how to
access COVID-19 treatment and who is eligible.



· *Eligibility for COVID-19 Treatment:* At this time, individuals
who are age 65+ or who have a pre-existing condition that puts them at
higher risk of severe illness, and who have tested positive for the
Coronavirus are eligible for COVID-19 treatment. If you are not sure about
your eligibility, speak with your health care provider.



· *How to Access COVID-19 Treatment:* Treatment for the Coronavirus
can be commenced within 5-10 days of developing mild-moderate symptoms, and
therefore, it is critical to get tested right away if you have symptoms or
were recently exposed. If you have tested positive for COVID-19, you should
do the following:



1. Speak with your primary care provider to discuss your eligibility
for COVID-19 treatment. If you do not have a primary care provider, or if
you are uninsured, you can call 212-268-4319 and press option 9 to reach
the NYC Health + Hospitals emergency telehealth service. You will have
intake with a nurse and then speak with a clinician to determine
eligibility. Please keep in mind that this phone number is for people who
do not have a primary care provider or who are uninsured.

2. If you are approved for treatment, the doctor will call in a
prescription for Paxlovid, or you will go to a treatment site for the
Monoclonal Antibody Treatment.



Ø *Paxlovid *is an antiviral pill treatment that involves taking the pills
multiple times a day for 6 days. This form of treatment is for people age
12+ who:

o Have tested positive for COVID-19,

o Have had mild-moderate symptoms for 5 days or less, and

o Are at high risk for severe illness, as defined by the CDC
<[link removed]>



Ø *Monoclonal Antibody Treatment* is a one-time IV antibody infusion
treatment for people age 12+ who:

o Have tested positive for COVID-19,

o Have had mild-moderate symptoms for 10 days or less, and

o Are at high risk for severe illness, as defined by the CDC
<[link removed]>



*Please Note:* Prescriptions for Paxlovid can be called in to Alto
Pharmacy, which delivers the medication to your home, or to a variety of
pharmacies in the community which now have Paxlovid in stock. You can ask
the doctor to check if your local pharmacy carries Paxlovid if that is your
preference.



If your prescription is called in to Alto Pharmacy, please be aware that
Alto will call and/or text you in order to arrange for delivery of the
Paxlovid. *You must answer the call or text before Alto will deliver the
medication.*



*For additional details, please see the NYC Health Department’s **COVID-19
Treatment Info Sheet*

*COVID-19 Testing Updates: COVID-19 Testing in the Community at City- and
Privately-Run Testing Sites*

Testing is a valuable tool that we have to determine positivity for the
Coronavirus and to interrupt the chain of transmission.



New York City has a variety of testing options available, including City-
and privately-run testing sites, and at-home testing, where a trained
clinician comes to your home and administers a PCR test. Please see the
resources below to learn more about these testing options and other helpful
information.



· *City-Run Testing Sites and At-Home COVID-19 Testing:*

Ø *NYC Health + Hospitals offers free (no out-of-pocket costs) rapid and
PCR testing at a variety of COVID-19 testing sites*, including hospitals,
health centers, and pop-up locations, throughout the five boroughs. *Click
here to find a testing site.*
<[link removed]>. No
appointment is required, however, some sites do allow you to pre-register
for your visit to streamline the check-in process. Free testing is
available whether or not you are symptomatic, and whether or not you have
health insurance. If you have health insurance, please bring your insurance
card.

*Please note:* If you are going to an NYC Health + Hospital testing site,
you can *check testing wait times*
<[link removed]>
before
you go to get tested.



Ø *Request At-Home COVID-19 Diagnostic Testing:* The NYC Test & Trace
Corps offers at-home testing for COVID-19 to all immunocompromised New
Yorkers and older adults age 65+. If you need to get tested, and are
concerned about risk of exposure, or are unable to leave your home,
appointments for at-home testing are available seven days per week, from 9
a.m. to 7 p.m. *Schedule an appointment by calling 929-298-9400.* You will
receive a molecular PCR test administered by a trained clinician in your
home at no cost.



· *Privately-Run Testing Sites:*

Ø *Use this search tool*
<[link removed]> to
find additional testing sites, including urgent care centers, pharmacies,
and labs, by providing an address, zip code, or city. *Note:* some of these
test sites do not offer testing to people who are asymptomatic or under a
certain age, and there may be out-of-pocket costs.

*If you are concerned about potential out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic
testing, please make sure to ask in advance what the charges will be. *

*City Agency Updates*



*NYC Department of Sanitation Updates:*

· *Beginning July 5,* *Alternate-Side Parking Regulations* for
street cleaning will be restored to pre-pandemic frequency as posted on the
signage throughout the City. Environmental justice begins at the street
level, and clean streets are vital to vibrant neighborhoods and NYC’s
economic recovery.



Mechanical sweeping is the most cost-effective and efficient means of
street cleaning! Mechanical brooms pick up several thousand pounds of
litter and debris each day and are key components of a comprehensive public
health and environmental justice program. Without this brief period of
curb access, litter and debris build up causing a cleanliness problem and
polluting our waterways.



· *DSNY hosts SAFE Disposal Events: *DSNY hosts SAFE Disposal
Events (Solvents, Automotive, Flammables, and Electronics) throughout the
year in all five boroughs to give residents a location to drop off their
harmful household products safely. Make sure to double check that any items
you planned to bring cannot be recycled curbside on your scheduled
collection day.



*The Manhattan SAFE Disposal Event will be held on Sunday, June 5 at
Columbia University/Teacher’s College*, W. 120 Street between Broadway and
Amsterdam Avenue. *Registration is required.* Please visit the SAFE
Disposal Event website
