UES Coronavirus Cases: City Releases Data By Zip Code

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Nearly 1,000 Upper East Siders have tested positive for coronavirus, according to a new batch of city data that breaks down the number of positive tests in each city zip code.

A long-awaited breakdown of coronavirus cases by neighborhood released Wednesday shows which neighborhoods have been hit the hardest by the outbreak of coronavirus in New York City. The Upper East Side's 893 positive cases, out of 2,390 tests, accounts for roughly 12% of Manhattan's total of 7,278 cases, according to the latest city data.

The data indicates that Upper East Side residents are contracting coronavirus at a lesser rate than the borough of Manhattan as a whole. Manhattan accounts for just 15% of total New York City coronavirus cases.

• 10021: 211 (562 tests)
