ALBANY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) - New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced record low numbers for the state regarding the COVID-19 crisis, during his press briefing on Saturday.
According to the New York State Health Department, there were 1,734 hospitalized with COVID-19 on Friday, this is the lowest number of hospitalizations since March 20.
The COVID-19 death toll continues to climb in New York State, but it's at the lowest rate the state has seen since the crisis began. Cuomo said the state sadly lost another 32 lives to COVID-19 on Friday, but that is the lowest total since the crisis began in New York State.
According to the governor, 22 states are seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases, and in 14 of those states the increase is as big as 25%.
Governor Cuomo said New York State is the anomaly because we are one of the few states that is seeing a decrease in COVID-19 cases as continue to reopen, and he said that is a credit to New Yorkers following the social distancing rules in place.
Rt Covid-19
These are up-to-date values for Rt, a key measure of how fast the virus is growing. It's the average number of people who become infected by an infectious person. If Rt is above 1.0, the virus will spread quickly. When Rt is below 1.0, the virus will stop spreading. Learn More.
Calculating Rt
The metric being tracked here (Rt) represents the effective reproduction rate of the virus calculated for each locale. It lets us estimate how many secondary infections are likely to occur from a single infection in a specific area. Values over 1.0 mean we should expect more cases in that area, values under 1.0 mean we should expect fewer.
5/20 model update: some states' Rt have changed because we improved our testing volume adjustments.
