See Where NYC COVID Rates, Vaccinations Are Highest And Lowest

NEW YORK CITY — New York City is turning the corner on its coronavirus fight as infections fall and vaccinations rise. But the much-awaited recovery still remains uneven in pockets scattered across the boroughs, according to the city's data.

Mayor Bill de Blasio spent this week in visibly jubilant spirits as the city's average positivity rate fell below 5 percent and stayed there.

He tied the rate Friday — 4.45 percent — directly to the city's vaccination effort.

"Why do we see constant improvement in the COVID situation?" he said. Because of vaccinations, because of over 6 million vaccinations to date, you can just see the cause and effect right there."

But the law of averages means that for every area in the city where the coronavirus is nearly undetected — such as Lenox Hill where positivity is as low as 0.54 percent — there are other neighborhoods with much higher rates.

There were 58 ZIP Codes scattered across the city where the average positivity stood at 5 percent or more, as of April 19, according to city data. Ozone Park's 11416 ZIP Code has the highest positivity in the city at 8.97 percent, data shows.
