NEW YORK - America's coronavirus epicentre of New York recorded a new single-day high of 799 Covid-19 deaths on Thursday but Governor Andrew Cuomo said the rate of hospitalisations continued to fall.
Cuomo said 799 people died in the last 24 hours, outdoing the previous high of 779 announced on Wednesday, but added that the curve was flattening because of social confinement measures. "We had a 200-net increase in hospitalisations, which you can see is the lowest number we've had since this nightmare started," Cuomo told reporters, adding that intensive care admissions were also at the lowest yet.
