The worst of the coronavirus tear through the Empire State appears to have passed, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday but there s one big if, he worried, as another 507 New Yorkers have passed away.
The overall number of hospitalizations continued its stable decrease in the 24- hour duration ending at midnight Sunday, sitting at 16,213, rather than 16,967 the day previously.
If the information holds, and if this trend holds, we are past the peak, said Cuomo during a press rundown at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, LI.
The current news is great, that we are on the other side of the plateau and the numbers are boiling down, he stated. That s good news only compared to the horrible news that we were living with, which is that consistent boost.
Even as the overall variety of hospitalizations continued to dip downward, another 1,384 clients were admitted to hospitals on Saturday, and another 507 New Yorkers passed away, bringing the statewide toll to 13,869
Don t get cocky, he stated. Don t get arrogant. This infection has led us every step of the method. This is just halftime in this entire circumstance.
