New York Governor Andrew Cuomo holds his daily briefing at New York Medical College during the coronavirus outbreak, in Valhalla, New York. REUTERS: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Tuesday that any vaccine to prevent the coronavirus should be distributed fairly without regard for wealth and called for US crisis leadership based on competence and not Twitter posts.

"You have to know what you are doing now - not just look like what you are doing, not just sound like what you are doing," Cuomo said without naming US President Donald Trump, a Republican who frequently attacks his critics on Twitter."You have to be smart. You are not going to tweet your way through this," added Cuomo, a Democrat.

The governor said New York state would allow gatherings of up to 10 people for the coming Memorial Day weekend honoring military personnel who died while serving in the US armed forces. Cuomo announced that the region including the state capital of Albany would on Wednesday become the seventh of 10 regions to start reopening after securing enough staff to trace contacts of infected people.New York City, the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States, remains under a strict lockdown.

Statewide, the three-day rolling average for new COVID-19 hospitalisations fell to 335 on Monday from 373 the previous day, Cuomo said. The daily death toll fell by one to 105, he said.
