“#Hospitalizations increase in New York amid COVID-19 spike<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n ALBANY \u2014 Hospitalizations have increased in New York alongside an alarming spike in coronavirus cases that have caused Gov. Andrew Cuomo to reinstate cluster containment zones and shut down schools in specific areas.<\/p>\n

A total of 878 New Yorkers were hospitalized as of Monday \u2014 an increase of nearly 60 patients compared to Sunday\u2019s data recording 820 hospitalized individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe largest single identifiable addition is from the micro-clusters,\u201d Cuomo told reporters during an afternoon phone conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember we were at 18,000 hospitalized so the hospitalization number to us is more relevant as an indicator for where people are, where the cases are coming from again, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week the governor instituted a new \u201chotspot\u201d cluster zone map including portions of Brooklyn and Queens, as well as Rockland, Orange and Broome Counties.<\/p>\n

Red, orange and yellow \u201czones\u201d have been set up where positive virus infection rates have ballooned into double digits \u2014 blowing past the Empire State\u2019s cumulative, statewide infection rate that had been hovering around one percent for several months.<\/p>\n

Restrictions in these areas include temporary school closures, as well as nonessential businesses like restaurants and gyms, and are set to last through the next two weeks after which they will be reevaluated.<\/p>\n

Cuomo has reminded reporters during conference calls that infection rates in hotspots are so high partially because the state has been \u201coversampling,\u201d or over testing in those areas.<\/p>\n

The statewide infection rate recorded as of midnight is 1.1 percent, but the independently, cluster zones have a combined 3.7 percent positivity rate.<\/p>\n

\u201cTesting tells you where the cases are, hospitalizations tell you where the serious cases are, and that\u2019s why we track the hospitalizations the way we do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn New York it\u2019s a micro-cluster, and we\u2019re going to be doing more of this wherever we find a concentration of cases relative to our norm, that is a micro-cluster.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York State has hot spots, which is a term we used in the state, but it\u2019s not nationwide. A hot spot, it\u2019s nationwide. A cool spot compared to where other states are, right? And it\u2019s because we\u2019re this diligent that we keep the number down,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 12 New Yorkers lost their battle with the virus, in addition to 185 patients checked into the ICU and 86 intubated individuals.<\/p>\n

Overall, 33,294 individuals have died of confirmed or presumed virus cases since March according to data from Johns Hopkins University, or 25,587 according to the state Health Department which only tracks confirmed deaths.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
