The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus across New York state
rose Wednesday to 212, while the five boroughs have now tallied 48
positive diagnoses, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Those totals represent a statewide increase of 39 and a city spike of
12 from Tuesday, as the potentially deadly disease continues to surge
in the Empire State, home to more cases than any state in the nation
except Washington.
New York’s hardest-hit county remains Westchester, which has 13 new cases for a total of 121.
Starting Thursday, the National Guard will begin enforcing a one-mile-radius
“containment area” in the city of New Rochelle, forcing the two-week
closure of large gathering areas including schools and houses of
worship.
Cases continued to rise on Long Island, where Nassau County now has
28, an increase of nine, and Suffolk County has six, an increase of
five.
Tallies in Rockland, Saratoga and Ulster counties stayed static, meanwhile, at six, two and one, respectively.
Still, Cuomo urged calm.
“The facts here do not justify the amount of fear,” he said. “The
facts here actually reduced the anxiety. We have 212 cases in the state
of New York. [Just] 32 are hospitalized.”
