NY Coronavirus Peak Higher Than Thought; May Be 2 Weeks Away
Cuomo gave a grim update Tuesday, saying the peak number of coronavirus cases could be two weeks away the peak is higher than expected.
NEW YORK, NY — The peak number of cases of the new coronavirus is expected to be higher than initially thought and could be just two weeks away — far earlier than initially predicted, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced in a grim update Tuesday. Cuomo said as many as 140,000 hospital beds will be needed, he said, noting the rate of spread is doubling every three days. The state currently has closer to 50,000 hospital beds.
"I will turn this state upside down to get the number of beds we need," he said.
