“That is welcome news,” the New York governor said.
“The facts today show that the hospitalization dropped once again, which is very good news,” he said.
The state, which was the first to get hard-hit by the coronavirus, continues to see a declining number of hospitalizations and intubations—even as those numbers continue to rise in most other states around the country. The number of new cases per day has dropped to 572, which Cuomo said was the lowest number since the crisis started on March 20.
The unwelcome news, which has been “heartbreaking everyday,” is that the death toll has flattened out around 200 per day, Cuomo said. “We’d like to see that number dropping at a far faster rate than it has been.” Another 226 New Yorkers died from the virus on Friday, he described, which was up from 216 deaths on Thursday. Cuomo warned about a “truly disturbing” new issue which has taken top priority—how Covid-19 affects young children. While many experts had originally thought that young people were not affected by coronavirus, “we’re not so sure that is the fact anymore,” the New York governor said.
