Cuomo reports New York has its largest one-day increase in deaths since pandemic

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday the state saw it largest daily increase in coronavirus deaths -- the largest single-day increase in deaths in the state since the start of the pandemic.
But there are signs the outbreak is slowing.
He reports another 731 coronavirus deaths in New York, and comes even as the three-day average of hospitalizations and intensive care admissions are dropping, Cuomo said.
"Behind every one of those numbers is an individual, is a family, is a mother, is a father, is a brother, is a sister. So, a lot of pain again today," he said at a press conference in Albany.
In total, more than 5,400 New Yorkers have died from the virus. In all, there have been more than 138,000 confirmed cases of the virus in the state.
