New York State's death toll from Covid-19 continues to slowly decline, with 478 deaths over the past day, the third straight day of decline and the lowest toll since April 1, when 432 people died, Governor Andrew Cuomo said today.

More than 4.000 deaths in New York City whose cause of death was not confirmed by laboratory tests were excluded from the total number of deaths.

The total number in hospitals was largely unchanged at just over 16.000, and the number of new hospital admissions was largely the same at above 1.300, Cuomo said today at his daily briefing.

After several weeks of rising numbers of deaths and hospitalizations in the epicenter of the epidemic in the US, Cuomo said the big question now is how quickly the number will fall if New Yorkers continue to practice social distancing.

"Does it take two weeks for that number to drop? Some projections state that. Does it take a month, some projections also say that," Cuomo said, adding that the projections are good, but that he "wouldn't bet on them." .
