The governor said that hospitalizations have appeared to hit an apex at about 18,600.
Cuomo took a shot at conspiracy theories for why governments closed down in light of projections missing the mark by wide margin, calling those ideas"corrosive."
Cuomo said he has kept politics out of the coronavirus response, commending President Donald Trump for being"responsive to New York's needs." The governor also stated that he is"not running for anything...I am the governor of New York and that's where I'm going to stay." The governor said that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who earlier Saturday announced that city schools would be shut down for the remainder of the academic year, could not make that decision"without coordinating that decision with the whole metropolitan region."
New York currently has confirmed cases and 8,627 deaths. There were 783 novel coronavirus deaths in the state Friday, after losing 777 people Thursday.
