NEW YORK: New York state, the US epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, is seeing some levelling out in the number of hospital patients, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Tuesday , a hopeful sign even as deaths there and in neighbouring New Jersey hit single-day highs.
New York state's death toll rose by 731 to 5,489 over the past day, Cuomo said, though he called that a"lagging indicator" illustrating past trends. Deaths from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, occur days or weeks after a person becomes infected.Paramedics take a patient into emergency center during the outbreak of the coronavirus in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.
New York has 138,836 reported cases compared with Italy's 135,586. Spain has the most cases at 140,510. The United States has recorded more than 380,000 cases with a total death toll of about 12,300, up by more than 1,400 in the past day. Cuomo said it was time to start planning for the eventual restarting of the economy and spoke with the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut about it, but added it was not time to loosen mitigation efforts to enact"social distancing" to curb the spread of the virus.President Donald Trump a day earlier said the economy would be able to reopen"sooner than people think."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose city is the most populous in the United States, said it was too early to declare that a corner had been turned but cited some encouraging developments.
