New York Coronavirus Deaths Jump

New York state, recording a falling hospitalization rate that seems to represent a potential plateau, recorded its deadliest day, Governor Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday morning.

Cuomo said 731 people had died, the largest single-day increase, bringing the state’s total reported death toll to 5,489, roughly half the nation’s total.

Though the death rate jumped, Cuomo said the state seemed to be plateauing, and the three day hospitalization average is moving down.
