The state will also be expanding testing criteria to include all first responders, healthcare workers, and essential employees.
"What we need to find out is when we will be back to the point where only several hundred people showed up at the hospital every day with the COVID-19 infection," the governor said.
"Only in this crazy reality would 1,100 new cases be relatively good news," Cuomo said on the number of new cases that has been decreasing every day since April 16."But 1,000 new cases – again we like to see that down into the two-, three-, four-hundred new cases per day." Cuomo will be signing an executive order to allow more than 5,000 independent pharmacists in the state to conduct diagnostic tests. As a result he is expanding the testing criteria for New Yorkers, which was originally reserved for people who were symptomatic.
"The more testing we have, the more we will open eligibility," Cuomo said, as the state continues to prioritize who gets tested.
