Coronavirus outbreak: NY Gov. Cuomo takes coronavirus test during daily briefing | FULL

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo provided an update on the latest numbers and news surrounding the state’s response to the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday.

Cuomo reported that net hospitalizations and intubations were down in the state. There were 139 new deaths reported.

During the briefing, Cuomo took a coronavirus swab test to encourage New Yorkers to get tested for COVID-19 and to demonstrate “why there should be no reluctance.” He urged all residents who think they have symptoms of the virus to get tested.

Cuomo also addressed how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected mental health, saying to not “underestimate the trauma that this has created for people,” and that it has been “incredibly anxiety producing, traumatic” and “disturbing.”

Instead of asking “how are you,” he said that New Yorkers should begin asking “how are you, really.”
