New NY coronavirus hospitalizations still troubling; deaths pass 16,000, Cuomo says

The three-day average of new coronavirus hospitalizations in New York fell below 1,300 people on Thursday for the first time since March. The decline is good news, but the number has flattened at a relatively high level, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today during a press briefing in Albany. That’s troubling and shows the need for caution in the weeks ahead.
