Virus cases in New York state double to 22
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New York state has doubled overnight, from 11 to 22.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo gives the figures Thursday. The newly diagnosed cases include two hospitalized patients in New York City and a hospitalized man in Long Island’s Nassau County.
The other positive tests were in people with mild symptoms — or none at all — in Westchester County, where a cluster of cases emerged earlier in the week. One of the previously diagnosed patients from Westchester County has been hospitalized.
Overall, the US has 11 deaths among the over 3,300 people worldwide who have died from the new coronavirus.
