New York will make its own hand sanitizer produced by prison inmates amid coronavirus outbreak, governor says

New York has now surpassed Washington state in having the most cases nationwide.

The governor then pretended to be advertising an infomercial product as he put some of the NYS Clean product on his skin. He told reporters,"I detect a little hydrangea, lilac, tulips, floral bouquet.... Corcraft makes glass cleaner, floor cleaner, degreasers, laundry detergent, vehicle fluids, hand cleaner, and now they make hand sanitizer with alcohol."

Cuomo also confirmed that Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton has tested positive for the new coronavirus. Cotton oversaw containment efforts at John F. Kennedy Airport, one of the key entry points for international arrivals, some of whom might be infected with the coronavirus illness.
