New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a briefing to media on the state’s ongoing COVID-19 crisis on Friday.
Cuomo said that the state’s total COVID-19 hospitalizations are declining. However, how fast the curve for hospitalizations and cases will continue to decline depends on how citizens adhere to social distancing measures and how much testing for the virus could be conducted, Cuomo said.
The governor added that by the time the U.S. instated a travel ban from China, the “horse had already left the barn,” meaning the novel coronavirus had already spread worldwide, and the virus in the state likely came from the strain in Europe after around 13,000 flights from Europe landed in New York and New Jersey.
World leaders pledged on Friday to accelerate work on tests, drugs and vaccines against COVID-19 and to share them around the globe, but the United States did not take part in the launch of the World Health Organization (WHO) initiative.
Several European leaders, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa were among those who joined a video conference to launch what the WHO had billed as a “landmark collaboration” to fight the pandemic.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the objective at a global pledging effort in early May would be to raise 7.5 billion euros ($8.10 billion) to ramp up work on prevention, diagnostics and treatment.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and the province’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Saqib Shabab provided an update on the COVID-19 pandemic in the province on Friday.
