New York State Governor Kathy Hochul was welcomed by University of Albany President Hávidan Rodgríguez Jan. 14 as she held a press conference at the campus to go over the new COVID-19 data in NYS.
“From the very beginning of the pandemic, UAlbany has been actively engaged in the state’s [COVID-19] response,” said Rodríguez on Friday. “From April 2020 to April 2021, we hosted a state testing site that administered more than 160,000 tests. One year ago tomorrow, one of the first state-run mass vaccination sites opened here on our campus at the University of Albany.”
