🌱 North Fork Daily: Pop-Up Vaccination Pod + Kids' Library Fun
The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in North Fork.
Hi, North Fork! It's going to be a bit warmer after the past frosty days. With Gov. Kathy Hochul announcing Tuesday that the number of coronavirus cases has multiplied dramatically due to the omicron variant and okaying counties to forego contact tracing, the Cutchogue Fire Department is hosting a pop-up vaccination event. Adults and kids needing their first shots and those needing boosters are all welcome. Also on the North Fork, the story of a fun library sleepover for stuffed animals is sure to make the kids smile — show them the photos as you read them a bedtime story!
First, today's weather:
Breezy and not as cold. High: 40 Low: 29. Almost downright balmy!
Here are the top stories today on the North Fork:
- Pop-Up Vaccination Pod Coming To Cutchogue Firehouse (North Fork Patch) Here's a chance to get vaccinated that's open to adults, kids, and those needing boosters. The event takes place this week over three different days.
- Coronavirus-Related Hospitalizations At 43% Statewide: Hochul (Patch) Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday that 43 percent of hospitalizations statewide were due to the coronavirus, but offered the first "glimpse of hope" as cases reflected a decline for the first time since the winter surge swept the nation. Also, Hochul said that counties no longer have to require contact tracing and provided a new website for all the quarantine and isolation info you need if you test positive.
