NEW YORK: The United States' COVID-19 epicentre of New York recorded a new single-day high of 799 COVID-19 deaths on Thursday (Apr 9) but Governor Andrew Cuomo said the rate of hospitalisations continued to fall.
Cuomo said 799 people died in the last 24 hours, outdoing the previous high of 779 announced on Wednesday, but added that the curve was flattening because of social confinement measures.
