NEW YORK IS SEEING CLEAR SIGNS that the recent, record-setting surge of Covid-19 cases in the state is beginning to wane, Gov. Kathy Hochl said. After reaching an all-time of over 90,000 new Covid cases a week ago, the total yesterday fell to about 49,000. The seven-day average of new cases is down to about 67,000. Hochul thanked New Yorkers for their efforts to help slow the spike.
STATE LAWMAKERS EXPRESSED CONFIDENCE Thursday that this year will mark the successful legislative session the Adult Survivors Act is signed into law. The Adult Survivors Act would allow New Yorkers who suffered sexual abuse after the age of 18 — including people assaulted by medical providers, formerly incarcerated people or models in the fashion industry, athletes and others — to file civil lawsuits against their abusers for one year, regardless if a statute of limitations on legal claims has expired. Rosenthal thanked her 53 Assembly colleagues who have signed on in support of the measure as of Thursday.
