'There is no cause for surprise — this was expected,' Gov. Andrew Cuomo says.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo released a statement on Sunday night announcing the first case in the state. A source told The Post that the woman lives in Manhattan.
“The patient, a woman in her late 30s, contracted the virus while traveling abroad in Iran, and is currently isolated in her home,” Cuomo said in the statement. Despite the state’s first case of the deadly virus, Cuomo insisted, “There is no cause for surprise — this was expected.” “As I said from the beginning, it was a matter of when, not if there would be a positive case of novel coronavirus in New York.”This report originally appeared on NYPost.com.Comment #div-gpt-ad-1569967089584-0 > div > iframe { width: 100% !important; min-width: 300px; max-width: 800px; } Related Topics
