An 82-year-old woman has died of coronavirus in New York City, according to a tweet from a local newscaster, marking the first confirmed death from COVID-19 — the respiratory illness caused by the virus — in The Big Apple, and indeed, New York state.
At about 10:40 a.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, WPIX-TV correspondent Dan Mannarino tweeted that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had confirmed in a morning news conference that the elderly woman, who had been hospitalized since March 3, had died of the infectious respiratory disease.
