The COVID-19 death toll in the state of New York now stands at 3,565, Cuomo said.
The state governor added that 15,905 people are currently receiving treatment for the disease in hospital, and 4,126 of those are currently in intensive care units.
The mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio has warned that the city does not have sufficient medical supplies to cope with the expected surge in the number of critically ill patients in the coming weeks and months.
A Russian military cargo plane landed in the US on Thursday loaded with medical supplies to combat the disease. US President Donald Trump said that the supplies were of “very high quality.”
