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.

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 on Sunday decreased from 630 the day before to 594, and Monday remained at 599.

New York's Governor Cuomo predicts that the outbreak is still nearing the peak, though the virus is still in an emergency.

[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 more than 7%, with the Dow index rising 1627 points and 7.73%.
