Gov Cuomo

Largest Single Day Increase

April 7, 2020

We remember those who are affected by Covid-19

Beloved of compassion,

be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation.

In their loneliness, be their consolation;

in their anxiety, be their hope;

in their darkness, be their light.”

~Henrietta Grant

 

“We cannot restart life as we knew it without testing.

Testing is the essential component.”

 

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said

731

more people died on Monday due to the coronavirus, marking the largest single-day increase in fatalities in the state since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The latest surge brings the total number of deaths in New York to

5,489

— nearly half of all deaths caused by the virus in the U.S. — and comes even as the three-day average of hospitalizations and intensive care admissions are dropping, Cuomo said.

 

“Behind every one of those numbers is an individual, is a family, is a mother, is a father, is a brother, is a sister. So, a lot of pain again today.”
