New York Governor Andrew Cuomo delivered some good news Thursday from Albany as recent data suggests the COVID-19 curve is beginning to flatten in New York State.
He said the state had its lowest net hospitalization increase of 200 on Wednesday, and the lowest change in ICU admissions.
Cuomo said the reason behind that is that New Yorkers are complying with the social distancing measures.
However, Cuomo also discussed different COVID-19 modeling projections which show a range between 55,000 up to 110,000 individuals needing hospitalization.
NBC News’ Gadi Schwartz takes an inside look at the progress California has made against the coronavirus.
