New York reported almost 7,000 new cases of the virus since Sunday, bringing the total to nearly 66,500. Most of the cases are in New York City, where 36,221 people have tested positive, the city says.
The number of people hospitalized was 9,517, up 12 percent from yesterday. Of those, 2,352 are in ventilator-equipped intensive care rooms.
In a hopeful note, Mr. Cuomo said that while the number of hospitalizations continues to grow, the rate which it is growing was tapering off. "We had a doubling of cases every two days, then a doubling every three days and a doubling every four days, then every five," Mr. Cuomo said. "We now have a doubling of cases every six days. So while the overall number is going up, the rate of doubling is actually down."
