Cuomo addressed safety concerns while speaking at a press conference in Albany. There have been 21 new cases confirmed, and that brings the total number of cases in New York to 76.
From these cases, 57 of them were from the Westchester area, and that is posing a dilemma for New York State. In Manhattan, there are currently 11 Coronavirus cases, where seven new cases were confirmed today. 10 people are hospitalized over the illness.
A major concern for the United States as a whole is the lack of tests available. The state has commissioned for hundreds of tests and they intend to request more. The governor wants to test as many people as possible.
Cuomo encouraged New Yorkers to stay calm. He stated that over the last 2.5 weeks, there are more people recovering than getting infected. He encouraged people to know the facts and to remain calm.
