The number of state cases linked to the new variant of the coronaviruses has risen to eight.
The state Health Commissioner said in a news release that the beginning of community spread was anticipated.
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Washington state became the first states to report cases of the variant on Saturday, a day after New Jersey, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Maryland reported their first cases. The first presumed case was reported by Missouri.
The variant has been detected in several states.
In New York, seven of the cases have been found in New York City and the other in Suffolk County.
Hospitals statewide continue to strain under a surge in coronaviruses cases, most traced to the delta variant, along with staffing shortages.
The number of people testing positive for the virus has doubled in the last 30 days.
The Health Department has been given the authority by the governor to limit non essential procedures at hospitals that are close to running out of beds and to deploy National Guard teams to relieve healthcare workers who are dealing with staffing issues.
The National Guard arrived at Monroe Community Hospital on Saturday. The lieutenant governor said the state would send 13 National Guard teams to the western New York county where the county executive has declared a state of emergency.
Hochul said that New York's omicron cases appear to be unrelated. One of the cases involved a man from Minnesota who attended a three-day New York City festival of Japanese animation. Anyone who attended the conference is urged to wear a mask and get tested for COVID-19.
Some health authorities suspect that omicron may be more dangerous than the original strain, and that it may make people sicker than the original strain.
The variant may be linked to the New York City convention, according to the governor of Connecticut. A man in his 60s has a family member who attended the convention and he is the subject of a case. The family member who is also a vaccine user developed symptoms that have since been resolved.
The omicron variant was confirmed in three cases in Washington state on Saturday. They noted the investigation is still early, and they don't know much about the travel histories of the patients, two men and a woman who range from 20 to 39 years old.
The Department of Public Health announced Saturday that a woman in her 20s from Massachusetts is the first known case of the variant. The woman is a resident of Middlesex County and has had her vaccinations.
A woman who recently traveled from South Africa became the first confirmed case in New Jersey and Georgia. The fully-vaccinated Georgia resident was in her home state for two days between arriving from South Africa and traveling to New Jersey, according to health officials in both states.
The Baltimore metropolitan region has three cases of the omicron variant, two of which are from the same household. One of the two is a person who has a vaccine. The third case is unrelated to the other two.
The first case in Pennsylvania was a man in his 30s from Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health didn't say if the man had been traveling or had been shot.
State health officials did not provide any additional information about the St. Louis resident who is believed to be the first case of the disease in Missouri. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was waiting on confirmation from the St. Louis Health Department.
The case counts in California, Nebraska and Colorado grew Friday.
Five cases in Northern California were linked to a wedding in Wisconsin. According to the Department of Public Health in Alameda County, one of the individuals recently returned from traveling internationally.
There are six new cases of the variant in southeastern Nebraska. State health officials said the first case was probably that of one of the six people who recently traveled to Nigeria.
Colorado detected the second case of the omicron variant just a day after the state's first confirmed case, officials said Friday.
We expect to see more cases because we knew the omicron variant was coming. Hochul said that they are not defenseless. Get your vaccine, get your booster, and wear your mask, because we have the tools to help prevent the spread of this deadly virus.
