The spike by 594 deaths showed a slight decrease in the day-to-day number of lives lost compared to the previous day. It was the first time the day-over-day toll had dropped - on Saturday it hit a record of 630 deaths in 24 hours - but Governor Andrew Cuomo told journalists it was too early to tell whether that was a"blip."
The peak of the pandemic in New York - the US area hardest hit thus far by the fast-spreading virus - could arrive over the next week, Mr Cuomo said, though he cautioned it was still unclear if the apex would be a point or a plateau.
