New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there has been a significant decline in CCP virus hospitalizations statewide.

“Eighty-six hundred total hospitalizations; that number is down. That is good news, and that is a fairly significant drop,” Cuomo said at his daily briefing on May 7, noting the net change in hospitalization rates. Intubations were also down across New York.
