纽约——周六有五人死于冠状病毒在纽约州，这是自3月15日以来该州报告的最低日死亡人数。
周六的死亡总数与前一天的13人相比，因为该病毒导致的死亡人数在该州继续直线下降。在4月的流感高峰期，每天有近800人死于冠状病毒。
“我们正处于完全相反的一端，”州长安德鲁·科莫在接受全国广播公司的“会见媒体”采访时说
根据该州的官方统计，纽约在COVID方面仍然领先全国，死亡人数为19人，接近25，000人，其中不包括可能死于该疾病的人。
与此同时，周六因COVID-19住院的患者不到900人，低于4月份超过18000人的峰值。
州长警告说，如果纽约人放松警惕，不遵守社交距离和戴面具的要求，人数可能会再次激增。
库莫说:“我现在害怕来自其他州的传播，因为我们是一个国家，人们都在旅行。”。“我担心其他州的感染率会回到纽约，并再次上升。”
周五，美国确诊的每日感染人数创下4万人的历史新高，促使德克萨斯州和佛罗里达州的官员改变路线，再次关闭各自州的酒吧。
美国卫生和公众服务部部长亚历克斯·阿扎尔强调，美国采取行动有效遏制冠状病毒的“窗口正在关闭”。
天主教弥撒简历
红衣主教蒂莫西·多兰周日在圣帕特里克大教堂举行了自冠状病毒大流行以来的首次公众弥撒。
这座历史悠久的大教堂被限制在25%的容量范围内，州政府官员还制定了社交距离准则。
多兰感谢会众坚持不懈的努力，并开玩笑说将会有十几件收藏品来弥补错过的星期天。
“这14周你们都去哪里了？”多兰打趣道。“我见到你高兴吗？”
该教堂继续在其网站上直播每日弥撒。
Virus death toll drops to 5 in NY, once the US epicenter
NEW YORK -- Five people died Saturday from the coronavirus in New York state, the lowest daily death toll the state has reported since March 15.
Saturday's total compared to 13 fatalities the day before as the number of fatalities caused by the virus continues to plummet in the state. During the peak of the pandemic in April, nearly 800 people were dying a day from coronavirus.
“We are on the exact opposite end,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
New York still leads the nation in COVID-19 deaths with nearly 25,000, according to the state’s official tally, which doesn’t include people who likely died of the disease.
Meanwhile, fewer than 900 patients were hospitalized Saturday for COVID-19, down from a peak of over 18,000 in April.
The governor cautioned that the numbers could spike again if New Yorkers let down their guard down and fail to follow social distancing and mask-wearing requirements.
“I’m now afraid of the spread coming from other states because we are one country and people travel,” Cuomo said. “I’m afraid the infection rate in the other states will come back to New York and raise that rate again.”
Confirmed daily infections in the U.S. hit an all-time high of 40,000 on Friday, prompting officials in Texas and Florida to reverse course and close down bars in their states again.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar stressed that “the window is closing” for the U.S. to take action to effectively curb the coronavirus.
CATHOLIC MASS RESUMES
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Sunday celebrated the first public Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral since the coronavirus pandemic began.
The storied cathedral was limited to 25% capacity and social-distancing guidelines outlined by state officials.
Dolan thanked the congregation for its perseverance and joked that more than a dozen collections would be taken to make up for the missed Sundays.
“Where have you all been these last 14 weeks?” Dolan quipped. “Am I ever happy to see you.”
The church continues to livestream daily Mass on its website.
