The daily increase of confirmed coronavirus cases in New York continues to soar. On Sunday, Cuomo confirmed over 4,812 new cases of coronavirus. On Monday, 5,700 new cases were announced bringing the statewide total to 20,875 confirmed cases. He announced 1,021 new confirmed cases in Westchester County, 137 new cases in Rockland County, 18 news cases in Dutchess County and 142 new cases in Orange County.

About 13 percent of the confirmed cases in New York are hospitalized. Of those hospitalized 24 percent are in ICU.

The increase in confirmed cases is expected because New York State is performing so many tests. Officials say the state has performed almost double the number of tests as any out state. According to Cuomo 25 percent of all testing nationwide has happened in New York State.
