Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNew York state’s coronavirus death toll is nearing 1,000.
The state accounts for more than 40 percent of coronavirus deaths in the US.
The number of disease-related deaths in the state jumped Sunday to 965 from 728 the day before, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says. The vast majority have been in New York City. Figures released Sunday morning show 678 coronavirus deaths in the city, which continues to be the epicenter of the pandemic in the US.
Meanwhile, new data is showing which parts of the city are being hit the hardest by disease and that nearly a quarter of the people who have died of coronavirus in the state were nursing home residents.
