New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Tuesday that the real "battle" against the state's outbreaking Corona Virus has not yet begun, but he spoke of what he described as good news regarding the number of people recovering from the disease.
Cuomo said the number of people who have been infected with the Coronavirus in New York has increased by more than 99,000 from the previous day, to 75,795, with deaths increasing 27 percent to 1,550.
"The virus is stronger and more dangerous than we expected ... We are still climbing the mountain, the main battle on the top of the mountain," Cuomo told a news briefing.
The Governor of New York pointed out that: "The main battle has not yet been fought, and it will come when the Corona outbreak reaches its climax, that is 14 days to 30 days from now."
And Cuomo revealed "good news", that 4,900 patients were discharged from New York hospitals.
New York hospitals are experiencing a severe shortage of artificial respirators, at a time when the state is witnessing the largest number of deaths and people infected with the emerging coronavirus nationwide.
And the American "ABC" website quoted Cuomo as saying that New York hospitals are now able to share respirators between two patients with "Covid-19".
New York has recorded 1228 deaths from the virus so far, along with more than 66 thousand infections, and news indicated that the number of deaths from the Corona virus in the United States increased to 3,393 cases .
