“I know it’s been tough… these actions are helping to take the strain off our NHS” Prime Minister Boris Johnson thanks the public for following government guidance, adding that it could save thousands of lives “of people who don’t deserve to die”
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered all non-essential workers to stay home as cases continue to rise in the state. He has also ordered a moratorium on all residential and commercial evictions for the next 90 days.
"Sixteen days ago, we were at zero. Today we are at 2,900. Those numbers are why we’re taking these actions." Mr Cuomo has also issued additional rules for citizens. Vulnerable individuals should only go outside for solitary exercise, avoid public transport, and wear masks. Non-vulnerable groups are barred from non-essential gatherings outside of private homes, including group exercise, and must practise social distancing of at least six feet .
The governor said the surge in New York coronavirus cases was due to increased testing capability and that the state was testing more people per capita than China or South Korea, with 10,000 tests processed last night.
