Here's Where The Greenwich Village COVID Rate Stands As Summer Begins

GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — A month-long wave of COVID-19 cases in the city and state is showing signs of breaking, and the Greenwich Village is no longer posting near the highest COVID rates in the city.

All major coronavirus indicators — from positivity to cases to hospitalizations and deaths — in New York City have been either declining or staying at stable levels for the past month, data shows.

And state officials revealed Tuesday that New York's overall COVID-19 case rate has fallen for the past two weeks.

As recently as the end of April, the West Village and Greenwich Village both posted seven-day positivity rates within the 15 highest in New York City.

The most recent numbers, from May 22 to May 28, show all three ZIP codes that make up the West Village and Greenwich Village are outside of the top 30 highest current rates.

Here's more of a breakdown for the 10014, 10012, and 10003 ZIP codes.

10014 (West Village/Meatpacking District)

• Case rate: 11.34 percent
• New positives: 56
• Median number of people getting tested a day: 300

10012 (Greenwich Village/SoHo)

• Case rate: 11.07 percent
• New positives: 56
• Median number of people getting tested a day: 384

10003 (Greenwich Village/East Village)

• Case rate: 11.7 percent
• New positives: 129
• Median number of people getting tested a day: 352

Now for some bad news: New York City remains under a "high" COVID-19 risk alert status.

The alert indicates there's still community spread in the city, based off data from the week of May 26. That data shows that cases per 100,000 people stood at 335.88 — a "stable" level over a seven-day period.
