The number of tests has reached a new high.

We did over 21,000 tests.

Thank you to our great health department.

We have over 10,000 new cases.

102,000 total tested Positive.

14,000 hospitalized.

3700.

I see you patients.

8800 patients discharged.

That's good news.

Number of deaths.

Highest single increase in the number of deaths since we started 2300 to 2900 deaths.

You see the totality for New York State 102,000 New Jersey, California Remember when this started?

New York had airports that were designated entry zones?

This is an international destination international hub.

We have people coming from across the world sooner and had a higher rate than anyone else.

Total hospitalization.

1400.

That's also a new high daily.

I seeyou.

Admissions is down a little bit, but you had more deaths.

You have more people coming into hospitals than any other night.

Also, more people going out, which is obviously the ebb and the flow that's coming in and out of the hospital system.

The hot spots we now track on a nightly basis.

How many people go into what facility?

So we can track the increase in what's happening.

You see an increase in New York City as we knew certain communities, frankly, more New York City than other communities.

But you also see an increase on Long Island, which is something we're concerned about.

Long Island does not have a CZ elaborate healthcare system is New York City.

We don't have the same amount of resources on Long Island, and we see an increase in the number of cases on Long Island and that has this very concerned supplies.

PeopIe it are in short supply as they are.

Of course, the country.

We need companies to make the materials.

It is.

It is unbelievable to me that in New York State, in the United States of America we can't make these materials and that we are old shopping China to try to get these materials, and we're all competing against each other.

These air, not complex materials, and we will work with New York manufacturers will finance the transition necessary to make these materials.

I mean, we talk about them a ziff.

They're very complicated.

This is an N 95 mask.

This is it.

It waas 70 cents before this starts some hours higher.

$7.

But this is all that 95 mask.

It's it's fabric.

It's material.

The FDA has the specifications, and then it's two pieces of the last court.

Can't be that we can't make these.

This is a gown we call them downs.

This is a gown.

It's There's nothing sophisticated about the manufacturing of this government.

Not that the great the garment is nothing sophisticated about the material.

It can't be bad companies in this country and in this state can't transition to make those supplies quickly again.

I understand if there's a financial burden, we will address that, and we will work with you.

So please contact us.

Javits is going to be converted to a Cove it facility.

The original plan was to use Javits.

Javits is the state convention center.

It was retrofitted by the Army Corps of Engineers to hold 2500 people.

The original plan was that it would not take covert patients covert positive patients.

It would take non Covic patients and would be an overflow for hospitals.

As it turned out, we don't have non cove it people to any great extent in the hospitals hospitals have now turned into effectively.

I see you hospitals for cove it patients.

So we wanted to convert Javits from non Cove it to Cove it, uh, the it's federally run.

Frankly, the federal agencies were not eager to do that.

FEMA was not eager to do that.

I called the president.

I spoke to him about it yesterday morning.

That afternoon yesterday afternoon, the president called me back, said he spoke to the task force.

They would grant the request to transition the Cove Javits Center to Cove it.

Only that is adds 2500 bets.

So that is a very big deal on.

I thank the President for doing it.

He did it despite the fact that the federal agencies were not eager to do it.

And hey, did it quickly s o.

I thank him for that.

It's a big deal for us.

We're still challenging.

We still have the challenge of ventilators.

We don't have enough period.

I'm not going to get into a situation where we know where we are running out of ventilators, and we could have people dying because there were no ventilators.

But there are hospitals in other parts of the state that have ventilators that they're not using.

I'm just not going to allow us to go there.

I think it would be wholly irresponsible.

So I'm going to sign an executive order that says the state can take ventilators and p p e from institutions that don't need them now and redeploy them to other parts of the state and other hospitals that do need them.

Those institutions will either get their ventilator back or they will be reimbursed and paid for the ventilator so they can buy a new ventilator.

I can't do anything more than that, but I'm not going to be in a position where people are dying and we have several 100 ventilators in our own state somewhere else.
