JUST IN: Gov. Andrew Cuomo says preliminary data from antibody study found 13.9% tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies. Cuomo says the data could point to a lower death rate than some estimates, but cautioned there were multiple caveats to consider.
11:02 a.m.: Sen. Elizabeth Warren's eldest brother dies after testing positiveTuesday night, three weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. He was 86."I’m grateful to the nurses and frontline staff who took care of him, but it’s hard to know that there was no family to hold his hand or to say 'I love you' one more time—and no funeral for those of us who loved him to hold each other close. I'll miss you dearly my brother," she tweeted, in part.
Despite what appears to be slow progress in New York City, the mayor and health commissioner gave a sobering look at how many New Yorkers most likely have been and will continue to be affected by the pandemic. A woman walks through an almost-deserted Times Square in the early morning hours, on April 23, 2020, in New York City. Job losses from the coronavirus pandemic deepened last week with data showing another 4.4 million US workers filed new claims for jobless benefits, bringing the total to 26.4 million since mid-March.
Starting Thursday, all of the city's frontline workers can get tested for COVID-19 whether they have symptoms or not. The city's public testing sites have the capacity to test 12,200 people per day, according to Garcetti.
