New York abrumado con casos de coronavirus
March 25, 2020 - Con su rápida multiplicación de casos de coronavirus, Estados Unidos podría superar a Europa como el nuevo epicentro de la pandemia de coronavirus, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud
Cases of coronavirus in New York are escalating at an alarming rate, likened to "a bullet train" by its governor Andrew Cuomo, with known cases now over 25,000 (and well over 200 deaths) – amounting to more than half of all U.S. cases.
The recent U.S. upsurge in new cases, which is expected to continue, is the result of more state and private labs testing for the virus after weeks of delays and test kit shortages.
New York State, home to the most populous city in America (8.6 million people), has been testing residents especially thoroughly, disclosing more than 4,700 new cases on Tuesday, March 24 alone.
