New York City Mayor de Blasio announces 39 coronavirus patients were admitted to hospitals yesterday. “That is a tremendous positive indicator,” he said Wednesday in New York.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared victory over the coronavirus pandemic, touting the lowest daily death toll and hospitalization rate since it began.
“We’ve overcome the greatest challenge that this state has faced in my lifetime with this Covid virus,” Cuomo said Wednesday at his daily briefing. “This was the beast that we didn’t know if we could beat, but so far, we’ve beaten it.”
More than 374,000 people have tested positive in New York state, and the death toll has topped 24,000, as of June 2.
There were 49 virus-related fatalities on June 2, the lowest the state has had since March, when the outbreak began, Cuomo said. “We have to stay smart to make sure we control the beast.”
Florida reported 58,764 Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, up 2.3% from a day earlier, compared with an average increase of 1.4% in the previous seven days. It was the biggest jump since the May 21 report.
Deaths among Florida residents reached 2,566, an increase of 1.4%, below the previous 7-day average of 1.6%. In terms of deaths, the numbers suggested a return to the trend after a spike in Tuesday’s numbers, the biggest since May 8.
