JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. — New York State on Tuesday reported 1,430 new coronavirus infections in the last day, a 0.4 percent increase in the state’s total, marking the lowest percentage daily increase in virus cases since COVID-19 hit the state 10 weeks ago.
It’s also the lowest total daily increase in infections in New York since March 18.
Appearing at the Binghamton University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Johnson City, Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday also reported the state had 195 new COVID-19 deaths in the last day. That is up from 161 a day earlier, but an improvement from 207, 226, 216, and 231 daily deaths in the prior four days, respectively.
