New York Governor Cuomo: The peak of the second wave of epidemic may come this fall

On the 23rd local time, New York State Governor Cuomo held a daily press conference to introduce the latest situation of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic in New York State. Cuomo said that the number of new coronary pneumonia hospital admissions in New York State has decreased, but the death cases of the new coronary pneumonia was still reached 438 in a single day on the 22^nd. Cuomo emphasized that the new coronary virus epidemic may begin to usher in a second wave of outbreaks this fall. When the new year's flu season arrives, the new coronary virus and flu testing and treatment will be under pressure. Let the US medical system face a major impact again.

Regarding the next key measures for the prevention and control of the New York State epidemic, Cuomo said that New York State will increase the scope of testing for African-American and Latino communities, and investigate the nursing homes with severe outbreaks, and strictly investigate the state nursing homes. Nursing homes that fail to comply with strict prevention and control rules will be fined or disqualified for business.

In addition, Cuomo also announced a serious situation. The current number of about 15,500 new coronary pneumonia deaths in New York State mainly comes from the statistics of hospitalized patients and nursing homes, and does not include new coronary pneumonia patients who died at home, so the actual number of the state's new coronary pneumonia death cases may be even higher.
