Meanwhile, testing for determining who have been infected remains significant for slowing down the spread. Cuomo announced the state will invest in private companies to bring rapid COVID-19 testing to scale and accelerate testing capacity.
The governor added that the Navy hospital ship Comfort docking at New York Harbor will be used for treating COVID-19 patients, after the governor made a plea to President Donald Trump on Monday.
The ship's original 1,000 beds will be scaled down to 500 as COVID-19 patients need more space in treatment, which "is still a tremendous benefit," said Cuomo.
As of Monday afternoon U.S. Eastern Time, New York state reported 138,863 COVID-19 cases, topping the country's 50 states. Over 79,000 cases were recorded in New York City, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
