New York Governor Andrew Cuomo cited tentative signs the coronavirus outbreak was flattening in the state but warned against complacency
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said coronavirus-related deaths statewide reached 4,758 as of Monday, an increase of 599 from Sunday, on par with an increase of 594 during the previous 24 hours. On Friday, the state’s death toll increased by 630.
Cuomo warned it was still too soon to know whether the state has turned the corner, saying: “If we are plateauing, we are plateauing at a high level.” “This virus has kicked our rear-end,” Cuomo said. “Now is not the time to slack off from what we are doing.” “It’s going to be the peak hospitalization, peak ICU week and unfortunately, peak death week,” Admiral Brett Giroir, a physician and member of the White House coronavirus task force, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday.
More than 90% of Americans are under stay-at-home orders issued by state governors in recent weeks, while eight states have yet to impose such restrictions.
