USA: Coronavirus in the United States: New York State registers the lowest

Updated 04/18/2020 at 5:31 PM

New York.- The state of New York, the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, registered the lowest number of deaths in two weeks, announced this Saturday Governor Andrew Cuomo.

In the last 24 hours, 540 people have died in this state of 20 million people, said Cuomo, who suggested that the decline in the number of deaths could begin after registering a plateau.

This figure is the lowest since the 432 deaths registered on April 2, according to information from the authorized Covid Tracking Project.

The following day, the state had a death rate of 562, which six days later reached a peak of 799.

But Cuomo, who extended the lockdown measures until May 15, cautioned that this apparent improvement should be taken with a grain of salt.

Some 2,000 people were hospitalized in the last day in connection with the virus, he said at his daily press conference.

“We are no longer on a plateau, but we are not in a good position yet,” he warned, while urging an end to divisions, after engaging in a verbal war with the Republican president in recent days Donald Trump.

“This is not the time for politics,” said Cuomo of the opposition Democratic Party.

How quickly does a situation like this get worse? If one politicizes the emotions. We can’t do that, ”he said and called for“ sticking together ”to“ get out of this ”.
