Number of victims in New York again below 500

In the particularly violent Coronavirus pandemic in the US state of New York, the number of deaths has fallen below 500 within 24 hours for the second time in a row. The daily death toll was 481 between yesterday and today, Governor Andrew Cuomo said at his daily press conference.

“That’s good – but our definition of ‘good’ has changed. ‘Good’ now means ‘not terrible’, ”said Cuomo. Between Sunday and yesterday, 478 people in the state with around 19 million inhabitants died after being infected with the novel corona virus – in the weeks before, however, up to almost 800 people a day.

After the announcement of relatively strict exit restrictions a month ago, the number of newly infected people in New York had recently dropped significantly. Overall, far fewer patients have had to go to clinics than previously forecast.
