Positive COVID-19 Tests Top One Million in New York State
New York State has recorded more than a million positive COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began, according to figures released by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Saturday.
The roughly 15,000 new positive tests reported statewide on Friday bring the total number of cases over one million, according to the state’s data. Experts say the official number of coronavirus cases represents a significant undercount, since many people in the New York City area were infected with the coronavirus last spring when testing was largely unavailable.
New York is the fourth state to report more than 1 million positive COVID-19 tests after California, Texas and Florida. New York reported 128 COVID-19 deaths on Friday.
