Coronavirus | New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says ‘Worst is over’ as US grapples with reopening

The Hindu  

The coronavirus outbreak could reach its peak in the United States this week, a top U.S. health official said on Monday as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared “the worst is over” for his state, the U.S. epicenter of the virus. ‘Right direction’ In New York City, three indicators have to show a sustained decline before the city could consider the outbreak to be in a less dangerous phase, Mayor Bill de Blasio said: the daily number of people admitted to hospitals, the number of people in intensive care units, and the percentage of positive tests for the virus. “I’m pleased to report we do see all the indicators moving in the right direction, moving downward together,” said de Blasio, who stressed the need for widespread testing before the city could lift social-distancing restrictions. New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot acknowledged a “tightening” of the supply chain for swabs needed in coronavirus testing, and said it was part of a “national and international challenge” to ramp up testing.
