The number of hospitalizations across New York, the state hit the hardest by the pandemic, continue to fall, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said moments ago during a news conference.
Despite this positive development, 437 people died in New York yesterday from the virus, Cuomo added. That number is up from 422 on April 24.
“This number is, as you can see, call it flat, call it flat with a slight decline, if you’re looking for a silver lining. But this is just terrible, terrible horrific news,” Cuomo said.
In terms of hospitalizations, Cuomo said, “All the numbers are basically saying the same. That we are, in fact, on the down side of the mountain.”
