Hospitalization numbers across New York state are dropping, and that “is a credit to the community, and the social conscience, and the responsibility of New Yorkers,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference Friday.
Because there are still about 1,000 new coronavirus hospitalizations per day, “which is still a very high infection rate” and a burden on the hospital system, he said the state wants more targeted information on these new patients.
“Let’s drill down on those 1,000 new cases. Where are they coming from, why is the infection rate continuing, who’s getting infected, and let’s get more targeted in our response," Cuomo said.
The governor said he will be speaking with hospitals this afternoon to ask them to provide more specific information on new Covid-19 cases.
Information requested will include where the patients live and work, how they commute, their age, sex and health status.
Most of the new cases are coming from downstate New York — 17.5% are from Manhattan, Cuomo said.
