There are more than 122-thousand known coronavirus cases in New York State and more than four thousand deaths.
Governor Cuomo says coronavirus deaths are still increasing but the daily rate of increase is lower and the number of new hospitalizations are down.
“by the data, we could be either very near the apex, or the apex could be a plateau and we could be on that plateau right now. We won’t know until you see the next few days. Does it go up does it go down.”
He says hospital beds are not a problem but staffing and equipment are.
“We have by the way hospitals that get down to two or three ventilators. I mean that’s how tight of margin we are operating on.”
Cuomo says China is donating one thousand ventilators to New York and the state of Oregon is sending in 140.
