New York corona total tops 100
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says there are 16 more cases of coronavirus in the state, bringing the total to 105.
The vast majority are in Westchester County, a New York City suburb where the outbreak has been centered around a Jewish community in New Rochelle.
Twelve cases have also been confirmed in New York City, and a smattering in other counties.
He appears to attribute the rise in numbers to “aggressive testing.”
