New York state registers 783 more deaths: Governor Cuomo

India TV News  

The death toll in New York State from COVID-19 is "stabilizing" but at a horrific rate, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday as he announced that 783 more people died from the novel coronavirus in the state in the last 24 hours. Cuomo appeared to disagree with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to close all public schools in the city for the remainder of the academic year. He said the decision in March to close all schools was made for the entire metropolitan region, which includes Suffolk, Nassau, New York City, Westchester and Rockland areas. "You can’t make a decision just within New York City without coordinating that decision with the whole metropolitan region because it all works together.
