There were 731 new COVID-19-related deaths overnight, though the number of cases may be plateauing, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during his daily briefing on Tuesday, April 7. There were 8,174 new confirmed cases as the statewide total climbed to 138,863.
"It's going to come down to how good we are with testing. ... But you have to have that testing and you have to have that testing on a scale," Cuomo said. "You have 19 million people in the State of New York. Just think of how many people you would need to be able to test and test quickly."
