New York Governor Cuomo announces coalition with six Northeast states to acquire medical supplies by merging resources

Hospitalizations in New York City, where the coronavirus outbreak has caused the most damage, increased slightly between Friday and Saturday, though Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed that intensive care unit admissions were down to 645 people, compared to 677 the previous day.

Both Cuomo and de Blasio warned about a potential resurgence of the disease, citing the 1918 influenza pandemic, and urged the public to be prepared for the possibility of a second wave of infections. Though New York's phased economic reopening launch remains on hold, the state is taking additional steps to protect essential workers in the meantime. On Saturday, the governor announced a new procedure that calls for disinfection of subway cars once per day. The order will require New York City's subway system to close daily from 1:00 a.m. to 5 a.m. EDT, when he said ridership is most sparse.

The MTA will disinfect every subway car everyday. Stations & commuter train cars will be cleaned daily as well.The riding public deserves this. Essential workers deserve this. Transit workers deserve this."We want people to know who need to use the subways and buses, because they are working, that they're safe," Cuomo shared.

Earlier on Saturday, Cuomo announced the results of New York's expanded antibody testing effort, which evaluated 15,000 people selected randomly from grocery stores and community centers across the state. The results found that coronavirus antibodies were detected in 12.3 percent of individuals tested, indicating that they have, at some point, been infected with the new coronavirus.

Governor Cuomo, continue to work together to make a difference. Maybe if we all work together we might be able to get back to some type of normalcy. As long as we’re divided as a people, this virus will take so much longer to conquer.

You go Cuomo!!! Think about it, if the WorstPresidentInHistory had a brain or the balls to be accountable, he would have lead a National response that would have locked him into 4 more years. Thank good for great, intelligent Governors!! WorstAdministrationEver VoteBlue2020
