New York sees highest number of daily cases since April
New York state reported 11,271 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday -- the highest daily figure the state has seen since mid-April, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday.
New York's daily positivity rate stands at 5.41%.
New York has the fourth-lowest infection rate in the country behind Maine, Vermont and Hawaii.
Over 70% of cases are coming from small gatherings, Cuomo said, and he called on local governments to enforce restrictions.
Cuomo said that the focus should be on the hospitalization rate rather than the infection rate.
New York has 4,222 COVID-19 patients in hospitals. The state has 53,000 hospital beds, of which 35,000 are occupied, he said.
Intensive care units have about 40% of their beds available, he said.
