Acting State Health Commissioner Dr. Colin Greene issued a COVID-19 Update on March 10. It covered a range of issues including COVID-19 community levels, therapeutics, intervals between vaccines.

The full list of topics addressed in the update address:

• • CDC COVID-19 Community Levels (Note: the memo explicitly states the CDC COVID-19 Community Levels do not apply in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes.

  • Consideration of Increased Interval Between 1st and 2nd Doses of mRNA Vaccines
