Outbreak shows signs of leveling off in New York, New Jersey, but vigilance urged
Governors of New York and New Jersey reported early indications of the coronavirus outbreak leveling off in their states, even as the nationwide death toll surpassed 10,000.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo noted a slight decrease in the daily increase of COVID-19 related deaths, with 599 new deaths reported on Monday compared to 630 on Friday.
The number of confirmed cases in New York, the US epicenter, rose by 7 percent to 130,680 in a 24-hour period.
Positive signs include a decline in hospitalizations, intensive care unit admissions, and intubations, suggesting a potential flattening of the curve.
Despite the tentative positive signs, Cuomo cautioned against complacency.
The potential flattening of the curve contributed to a significant rise in US stock markets, with the S&P 500 index increasing by nearly 5.5%.
