(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) New York State's number of new coronavirus cases in a single day exceeds 1,000 for the first time in nearly 4 months
China News Agency, New York, September 26. New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said on the 26th that nearly 100,000 people in New York State were tested for the new crown virus on the 25th, with 1,005 newly confirmed cases, and the positive rate was about 1%.
This is the first time that the number of new cases in a single day has rebounded to more than 1,000 in New York State since June 5 this year.
Como updated the epidemic-related data through social media and the New York State Government website that day.
On the 25th, 527 new coronary pneumonia patients were hospitalized in New York State, 164 were in intensive care, and 4 died.
The cumulative number of confirmed cases in New York State is nearly 455,000, and the cumulative death toll exceeds 25,000.
Cuomo called on New York residents to adhere to various epidemic prevention measures, including wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and paying attention to disinfection.
Local governments should also continue to strictly implement the anti-epidemic rules formulated by New York State.
The New York State Government will continue to monitor the epidemic data to help people protect themselves.
New York State has restarted in different regions and in stages since late May, and the epidemic has not rebounded sharply since.
New York’s local media PIX11 stated that although the number of confirmed cases in a single day once again exceeded 1,000, the New York State epidemic is still better than many areas in the United States.
Some health experts pointed out that the number of new cases in a single day exceeded 1,000, which is related to the recent sharp increase in the number of single-day tests.
Taking June 5th as an example, nearly 78,000 people in New York State were tested and 1,108 people were diagnosed with a positive rate of about 1.42%.
Before June 5, there are fewer tests in a single day, but the number of confirmed cases is often higher.
The Associated Press said that in the past few weeks, the number of new cases in a single day in New York State has been rising slightly.
This may be related to the increase in production and business activities and the gradual opening of universities, middle schools and primary schools.
The lower grades of New York City public schools will start in batches starting on the 21st; from the 29th, the middle and upper grades of public schools will also start in batches.
The number of new cases reported on the 25th in New York City was 196 on the 7th, and the positive rate was about 1%.
It is worth noting that the positive rate of testing in some communities in New York City is significantly higher than the citywide level.
For example, Gravesend and Homecrest in Brooklyn have a positive rate of as high as 6%; Edgmil and Falokaway in Queens have a positive rate of about 4%.
On the 25th, New York Mayor Bai Sihao stated that if the positive rate in these communities remains high on the 28th, local non-essential industries and schools may be closed again.
