(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) New York City has zero deaths from New Coronary Pneumonia patients within 24 hours for the first time in four months
China News Agency, New York, July 13 According to data released on the New York City Government website on the 13th, there were no new cases of new coronary pneumonia-related deaths in the city on the 11th, the first time since March 14.
New York City Mayor Bai Sihao said at the press conference that zero death was not something to be celebrated, but a warning: New Coronary Pneumonia is a fierce opponent. New York City made several months of efforts to usher in the first 24-hour zero death. He paid tribute to all New Yorkers who worked hard to fight the epidemic, saying he hopes there will be more days of zero deaths in the future.
New York City government statistics show that there are a total of 18,670 people diagnosed with New Coronary Pneumonia in New York City and 4,613 people suspected of dying of New Coronary Pneumonia. Due to the sudden increase in the number of deaths in New York City during the epidemic, the official began in mid-April and listed the dead who had no positive results of the virus test but the symptoms were similar to the new coronary pneumonia as suspected death patients, which were counted separately. Between March 17 and April 12, New York City counted 3,778 suspected death patients.
While the epidemic has been alleviated, the infection rate of young adults in New York City has increased. Bai Sihao said that New York City will redouble its efforts to control the spread of the virus among young groups. He warned that New York City is still far from "conquering the epidemic", and citizens must adhere to social distance and other epidemic prevention measures. Bai Sihao signed a new epidemic prevention rule that New Yorkers need to wear a mask when they live in a room with others outside of their home.
New York State Governor Andrew Como held a press conference in New York City on the 13th, saying that as of the 12th, the total number of New York State hospitalizations fell to 792; the three-day average of the number of deaths in a single day fell to 7; most areas tested positive for viruses The rate is around 1%. He said that these data show that New York State's strategy of restarting in stages has played its due role.
Como said that the New York State epidemic prevention work is facing two major threats. First, as the epidemic situation eases, the number of violations of epidemic prevention rules is increasing; second, the risk of imported cases from out of state is rising. He asked the local government to strengthen the enforcement of the epidemic prevention rules; at the same time, he reminded passengers in high-risk areas to take the initiative to report contact information and conduct self-isolation on the 14th. Violators will face a fine of $2,000 and mandatory isolation by the court Hearing.
Como also said that New York State is sending a medical team to Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, to help local virus detection and tracking. Georgia is one of the states where the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has spread rapidly. The cumulative number of diagnoses has exceeded 100,000.
The New York Times reported that in the past weekend, the number of newly diagnosed people in the United States exceeded 100,000; the number of newly diagnosed patients in Florida updated on the 12th reached 15,299, setting a new high for the number of new cases in a single day in the United States.
