More than 66,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus in New York State as of Monday, with the majority of them in New York City. More than 1,200 people have died from the virus in the state.
Governor Cuomo is once again lashing out at New York City residents congregating in parks and playgrounds: “New York City is trying to reduce the density in those playgrounds. Thus far they have not been successful. If that continues, we’ll take a mandatory action to close down playgrounds.”
Meanwhile, Cuomo is begging medical professionals to help hospitals inundated with coronavirus patients. “If you don’t have a healthcare crisis in your community, please come help us in New York now.”
He says New York will return the favor when the coronavirus hot spots shift to other parts of the country and after it peaks in New York.
