The CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian predicted on Friday that COVID-19’s Omicron variant will reach its peak in the Empire State next week.
Speaking at a briefing held by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Steve Corwin explained that while cases are still rising, the key indicators he’s seeing throughout the hospital system point to Omicron running out of steam in the near future.
“We think with our modeling that the peak will happen next week,” Corwin said. “We’ve also seen some leveling in the past couple of days, fingers crossed that that represents a plateau.”
