New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Sunday that the number of new daily Covid-19 hospitalizations had returned to the level it was at when he issued a statewide closure of nonessential businesses nearly two months ago.
Cuomo said that 521 people were hospitalized with the disease on Saturday and 207 died of it. The hospitalization figure, he said, "takes us right back to where we started this hellish journey."

Death figures have lagged those tracking hospitalizations. Cuomo said that 207 fatalities "takes us back to almost where we started, about a week in, as the number of deaths started to increase."Cuomo signed a "'New York State on PAUSE" executive order on March 20 that closed nonessential businesses and ordered residents to adopt social distancing measures.
"All of this work, all of this progress of turning that tide of reducing the rate of infection, that's all thanks to New Yorkers and what New Yorkers did," Cuomo said.
