Coronavirus infection rates in NYC have dropped to 1% in “an extraordinary day for New York City,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday. It's a striking contrast from the end of March, when that figure peaked at 71% — though far fewer tests were conducted.
Coronavirus infection rates in New York City, which had been so overwhelmed by the spread that it became known as the epicenter of the virus U.S., have dropped to 1%, in “an extraordinary day for New York City,” Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday.
Positive metrics were witnessed across the board in New York City on Monday, when 52 new patients were admitted to hospitals for suspected COVID-19 and 337 patients remained under the care of the city’s ICUs. Both figures are below the recommended thresholds of 200 and 375, respectively. “This will tell you on a day-to-day basis if you start to see tremors of a spike, and if those numbers start to move, then you want to know right away why and how,” he said.
“We’re in a new phase, we’re feeling good, we’ve done great,” he said. “But we have to stay smart, because reopening resets the whole game.”
