Coronavirus: New York flattening the curve despite jump in death toll, Cuomo says

New York state has actively flattened its curve with social distancing regulations, the governor said, but the death toll has continued its steady rise with largest single-day increase on Tuesday.

Governor Andrew Cuomo balanced the good news with the bad news during his daily press briefing on Wednesday.
