NEW YORK: New York's efforts at social distancing are working to get the coronavirus outbreak under control even as the state reported an additional 779 deaths, a record high for a second day, the Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday .
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday reported 395,011 cases of the coronavirus, an increase of 20,682 cases from its previous count, and said the number of deaths had risen by 690 to 12,754.Advertisement "Don't start doing a retrospective like it's over," Cuomo told a daily briefing."We are not through it. It's not over."
But he warned that the death count would continue at the current level, if not climb higher, over the next several days as those hospitalised more than a week ago and put on a ventilator machine passed away.He also warned that any relaxing of social distancing steps - on Tuesday he extended the state's closure of non-essential businesses and schools until the end of April - risked reversing the gains.
