- The health situation continues to improve in New York! At a press conference on September 7, 2020, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the Covid-19 infection rate had remained below 1% over the past 31 days. New York is now the US state with the lowest infection rate. The rate of positive coronavirus tests thus stands at 0.88%. In detail, out of 58,865 tests carried out across New York State in the past month, 520 have tested positive. The infection rate even fell to 0.7% for New York City last Friday and Saturday. A first since the start of the epidemic. An encouraging sign!
- The total number of coronavirus cases across New York State stands at just over 440,000, including nearly 236,000 for New York City. In terms of number of cases, New York is now largely exceeded by California (more than 744,000 cases), Texas (672,000 cases) and Florida (650,000 cases). New York, on the other hand, remains the US state most bereaved by the epidemic, with a total of 25,361 deaths since the start of the epidemic.
New Yorkers must stay mobilized
- While the health situation is improving and New York City has moved to the 4th and final phase of its deconfinement, Andrew Cuomo, however, calls on New Yorkers to remain mobilized. “I urge everyone to be smart so that we can continue to report progress in the weeks and months to come.” “It took the work of all of us to achieve this result, and to continue this progress, we will all have to continue washing our hands, wearing our masks, staying socially distant and above all, staying strong,” continues- he.
- The New York police are also continuing their checks in bars and restaurants, in order to enforce the health precautions in force. Just over 1,000 establishments were visited by the State Liquor Authority and the State Police Task Force in New York City and Long Island on the single day of September 7, 2020.
