New York reports first death in state from coronavirus
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says the state has reported its first death in the coronavirus pandemic, an 82-year-old woman who had been previously hospitalized with emphysema.
Cuomo says that she died yesterday at a hospital in New York City.
More than 500 New Yorkers have been officially been diagnosed so far with COVID-19. But Cuomo says he believes perhaps tens of thousands of New Yorkers already have the disease.
The true number of people with the virus in the state is unknown because testing is still being done across the US on a very limited basis.
