BBC: New York new coronavirus cases 'dropping for first tim!
[link:https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52175746|
The number of infections and deaths in New York, the epicentre of the US coronavirus outbreak, is dropping for the first time, officials say.
But in a news conference on Sunday, Governor Andrew Cuomo said it is too early to know the data's significance.
On Sunday, Mr Cuomo reported 594 new deaths for a total of 4,159 deaths in New York, the state hit hardest by the coronavirus so far.
He said there are now 122,000 New York residents who have been infected. But he added that nearly 75% of patients who have required hospitalisation have now been discharged.
