"When you see the cluster, you have to stop it at that point. Our strategy is to crush the cluster and stop the spread," he said in the statement.:"We've seen consistently high COVID-19 numbers in 9 zip codes across South Brooklyn, Far Rockaway and Central Queens. New York state currently has the country's highest COVID-19 death toll, with 33,219 fatalities to date, according to JHU.
The state flattened the curve of the outbreak from around mid-June. Average daily new cases hovered below about 800 through late September, according to JHU. Cuomo noted in August:"Colleges across the country are seeing outbreaks. This is going to be a problem."
