New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday called on President Donald Trump to not be a "co-conspirator" of the coronavirus and acknowledge the "major problem" it poses as cases spiked in dozens of states after some rushed to reopen.

"So, Mr. President, don't be a co-conspirator of Covid," Cuomo said at a news briefing. "Acknowledge to the American people that Covid exists, it is a major problem, it's going to continue until we admit it and each of us stands up to do our part."

"He said all those things, none of them were true," Cuomo continued. "And now we have a problem in 38 states because some people believe him."
