Johns Hopkins University counted more than 10,000 deaths in Corona 19 in the United States.

It has been 37 days since the first death on February 29, and 12 days since the death of 1,000.

The number of infected people increased to 350,000.

In New York State, where the situation was most severe, more than 130,000 people were infected and 4,700 were dead.

However, the increase in the number of deaths over the weekend has been analyzed as a positive sign.

The number of deaths per day fell from 630 to 594 the day before, and 599 on Monday.

New York Governor Cuomo still says it is an emergency, but he predicts the spread of the virus is nearing its peak.

[Kuomo / New York Governor: The increase in deaths over the past two days has actually eased. The fact that the virus spread curve can be flat is better than the increase we have seen.]

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also predicted that this week will peak in the number of inmates and deaths in New York and New Jersey.

New York stocks soared as news of this spread.

All three major indices rose by over 7%, with the Dow index rising by 1,627 points and 7.73%.
