    US: New York Governor declares state of emergency over coronavirus
  • In the United States, Governor of New York State Andrew M. Cuomo declared a state of emergency on Saturday amid growing concern over a novel coronavirus outbreak.

    Cuomo said that the move would help the state better tackle the viral outbreak, which has left over 3,500 dead worldwide.

    In New York, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases rose to 89 on Saturday.

  • Speaking at a press conference in Albany, Cuomo said that the declaration of emergency will expedite the purchasing of supplies and hiring of workers to assist local health departments.

    If necessary, the declaration would also help authorities skirt purchasing regulations, he said.

    In New York, 89 confirmed cases have been reported. As of Friday, 4,000 people had been asked to self-quarantine in the state.

    A cruise ship anchored off the coast of San Francisco, California, has over 3,000 people quarantined.

    At least 21 passengers on the Grand Princess cruise have reportedly tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

  • Controversially, US President Donald Trump said that he preferred if the Grand Princess passengers remain on the cruise.

    "I like the numbers being where they are," he said.

    Trump also said that there were enough coronavirus testing kits available, even as his own Vice President, Mike Pence, said the kits available did not meet medical demand.

    Cuomo said Saturday, "That has caused consternation, anxiety."
