Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday that �Staten Island is a serious problem� and that parts of the borough could become an orange or red zone �this week.�

�Unless they dramatically change the trajectory of the infection rate, this week they will go into those zones,� Cuomo said at a briefing.

�Staten Island is a serious problem,� the governor said. �Staten Island is also a problem in terms of overburdening hospitals, and we�re running into a hospital capacity issue on Staten Island that we have to be dealing with over these next few days.�

To reach an orange zone in New York City, an area would have to hit a 3% positivity rate on a seven-day average and stay at that level for 10 days. The percentage for a red zone designation is a seven-day average of 4% for 10 days.
