NY Coronavirus: 'We Could Be On The Plateau'
With more than 300,000 people tested in New York as of Sunday morning, 122,031 had tested positive.
NEW YORK — Downstate New York could be at or very near the apex of its new coronavirus outbreak, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at his Sunday news briefing.
"The apex could be a plateau and we could be on the plateau right now," he said. "The next few days will tell."
Evidence that the outbreak may have peaked: the number of people released from the hospital has been rising, and in particular the total number of new hospitalizations is much lower. ICU admissions are also down. But it will take more than a couple of days of numbers to accurately depict a trend, he said.
With more than 300,000 people tested in New York as of Sunday morning, 122,031 had tested positive.
The number of deaths rose to 4,159 as of Sunday morning. The number of new deaths has not climbed sharply in the past three days.
