[NYPOST] Gov. Andrew
SonnyCuomo declared a state of emergency Saturday to deal with the worsening coronavirus crisis, as the number of cases jumped to 11 in the Big Apple ‐ including a Queens cab driver ‐ and 76 across New York.Saturday’s numbers more than doubled the cases in the city, which stood at five on Friday, the governor said at a noon presser. There were 21 new cases outside the city, from 44 the day before, he said.
"We are testing aggressively, said Cuomo. "The more positives you find, the better."
Identifying people who have the virus is good, because they can be isolated and they won’t continue to infect people, the governor said.
He couldn’t say how many tests are being conducted, but said thousands have results still outstanding.
