GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — More than 50,000 front line workers on Long Island have received a COVID vaccination.

CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Curran also announced that because of an increase in cases, she’s bringing back the viral pandemic triage protocol.
“This protocol that I am talking about, that we’re reinstating requires EMS operators to do a COVID-19 screening and to only transport patients who meet the criteria for COVID-19 hospitalizations,” she said.
All serious cases will be admitted to hospitals in Nassau County. Those with mild COVID symptoms will be asked to quarantine at home.
