Last updated March 25 at 8 a.m. ET.
—There are about 25,665 total positive cases of COVID-19 and 265 deaths in New York, with more than 14,900 of those cases, and 192 deaths, in New York City. Nearly 3,900 cases are in Westchester County just north of the city.
Nearly one in 1,000 individuals in the New York area is infected with the virus, according to Dr. Deborah L. Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator. That so-called attack rate is five times higher than in other parts of the U.S., she said, according to The New York Times.
—New York has run more than 91,000 COVID-19 tests to date.
—Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he’s sending medical supplies out of the city’s Javits Convention Center to hospitals in: New York City, Westchester County, Long Island and other areas in the state. Supplies include: 339,760 N-95 masks, 861,700 surgical masks, 353,300 gloves, 145,122 gowns and 197,085 face shields.
—That’s on top of the 1 million N95 masks sent to New York City and 500,000 to Long Island last week.
—On March 20, Cuomo ordered all businesses to send home 100% of their workforce. Exemptions include: shipping, media, warehousing, grocery and food production, pharmacies, health care providers, utilities, banks and related financial institutions, according to a statement from Cuomo’s office.
—He also placed restrictions on all New Yorkers, requiring social distancing (6 feet between individuals) when in public, including for everyone in grocery stores and other "essential" businesses.
—On Tuesday (March 24), New York began testing the following experimental COVID-19 drugs, the Times reported: hydroxychloroquine, Zithromax and chloroquine.
—All public schools in the state are closed until April 1.
—All elective and non-critical surgeries will be canceled beginning Wednesday (March 25) in the state.
