New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is expected to give an update on the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday. He said Wednesday that most new COVID-19 cases tracked by hospitals in the state over the past few days were among people who were predominantly at home and not working. They were also mostly among people 51 and older.
He said that even “with everything we’ve done” there were still 600 new coronavirus cases in the state on Tuesday.

Cuomo said, however, that the number of new hospitalizations is continuing to go down, although he reported an additional 232 deaths, calling it an “unimaginable and painful reality that we have to deal with.”
“When people talk about how good things are going, and the decline and the progress – that’s all true,” he said. “It’s also true that 232 people were lost yesterday, and that’s 232 families that are suffering today.”
