New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced over 10,000 new coronavirus cases in the state in one day on Saturday morning, and updated the state’s drastically rising death toll, The Hill reports.
In his daily press briefing, Cuomo revealed that 10,841 new coronavirus cases have been reported in the state since Friday, a record one-day increase. That brings the total number of cases in the state to 113,704, roughly one third of the total number of cases in the United States, according to Worldomoters. That is also twice the number of cases from the previous week.
Further, Cuomo noted that 630 people in New York died of COVID-19, the respiratory illness that derives from the novel coronavirus, in the previous 24 hours. That brings the total number of coronavirus-related deaths in the state to over 3,500, accounting for over half of the 7,800 such deaths in the U.S., as of this writing.
