New York state epidemic 'on the descent': governor

The coronavirus outbreak in New York state -- epicenter of the epidemic in the United States -- is "on the descent," Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Sunday. "We are past the high point, and all indications at this point is that we are on the descent," Cuomo told a press conference. New York has borne the brunt of the virus in the United States, which has killed more than 13,000 people in the state, with more than 226,000 known infections.
