New York - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday cited tentative signs the coronavirus outbreak was "flattening" in his state but warned against complacency as the U.S. death toll topped 10 000 and the number of cases reached 350 000.

He warned that the numbers remain grim and that it was uncertain the state had turned the corner, saying: "If we are plateauing we are plateauing at a high level." The U.S. death toll, numbering 10,297 on Monday, was rapidly closing in on Italy and Spain, the countries with the most fatalities to date at nearly 16,000 and more than 13,000 respectively, according to a Reuters tally of official data.

More than 90% of Americans are under stay-at-home orders issued by state governors while eight states still were holding out on imposing such restrictions.
