New York has had more than 44,000 positive cases and 519 deaths — by far the largest number of any state in the U.S., which Cuomo attributes to the density of New York City and that it welcomes travelers from all over the world. He has imposed sweeping restrictions to try to contain the virus, including banning all nonessential gatherings.
Cuomo said the state is asking hospitals to increase capacity up to 100 percent. State officials have also scouted sites for new temporary emergency hospitals.
