When it comes to vaccines, the state gave more than 90,000 doses on April 25 and should reach 5 million total this week. The vaccination rate in the state is now approaching 40%
Testing for COVID-19 is still taking place — more than 16,000 new tests were reported April 26, with a positivity rate of 10.4%.
