NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- A total of 217,721 COVID-19 test results, a record high, were reported on Wednesday to the New York State government, which is carrying out its winter plan against the pandemic with the micro-cluster strategy at core, said an official release issued on Thursday.
"We know what's going on with the numbers because we've seen the movie in New York, we've seen the movie across the country. The positivity goes up, more people get sick, more people go into the hospital, more people go into the ICU, more people get intubated, and the death number goes up. Relative to the rest of the country, New York State is still doing phenomenally well and that's thanks to the good actions of New Yorkers," Governor Andrew Cuomo was quoted as saying in the release.
