27. yes, it is

And as a resident of the state, the northern part, I can tell you that people never really stopped wearing masks. Oh sure, for a short time you might see one or two people in the grocery store without a mask.
For the most part, however, everyone kept wearing them. I want to stress, though, that I am in a blue county, very blue town. One would expect to see that kind of behavior.

These two paragraphs from the Targum story seem to sum it up rather well:

“It is important to point out that 49 deaths due to COVID-19 among 4.8 million fully vaccinated state residents is slightly greater than one in 100,000 fully vaccinated individuals,” DOH Communicable Disease Service Medical Director Edward Lifshitz said. “That means vaccines are about 99.999 (percent) effective in preventing deaths due to COVID-19.”

The state reported 3,474 cases among fully vaccinated residents through June 28, equating to a 99.92 percent rate of effectiveness against contracting COVID-19, Murphy said on Monday.
