Coronavirus deaths in New York surged by 731 on Monday, the biggest single-day jump in COVID-19 fatalities since the outbreak began a few months ago, Gov. The number of deaths is a lagging indicator of the number of hospitalizations, Cuomo said. New York is the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States, with more than half the cases in the state in New York City, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. New York state health officials said they expected to have a breakdown of COVID-19 deaths by race this week. Hospitals don't provide that information to the state, they said, so officials had to obtain it from coroners.

President Donald Trump agreed Monday to allow the U.S. Navy's 1,000-bed hospital ship Comfort to be used to treat patients with the coronavirus to relieve pressure on New York City's strained hospital system"We don't need the Comfort for non-COVID cases, we need it for COVID," New York Gov. At Monday evening's coronavirus task force briefing, Trump said the ship would be used to treat patients from New York and New Jersey. The Comfort, which is docked on Manhattan's West Side, previously was deployed to the Big Apple with the understand that it would not treat patients with coronavirus. "I'm going to call the president this afternoon and ask him to shift the Comfort from non-COVID to COVID," Cuomo said. "Then we would have Javits and the ship Comfort as a relief valve," he said.

Overall, 15,905 have been hospitalized across New York state and 4,126 people have been placed in ICU due to the coronavirus. New York, the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States, is struggling to increase its hospital capacity and medical supplies as coronavirus continues to spread. Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday that New York had about seven days to prepare for coronavirus apex in the state, warning that "we're not yet ready for the high point." Cuomo said that he was eager to get past the peak, but cautioned that the state was still preparing for the surge. He said the state now had nearly 80,000 hospital beds, but remained short of masks and ventilators.

The Chinese government has facilitated a donation of 1,000 ventilators to New York state, New York Gov. The state of Oregon is also sending 140 ventilators to New York, which has become an epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. Cuomo said New York was conducting business with Chinese companies and cited China as a repository of essential medical equipment. If there are a lack of ventilators for the influx of hospital patients, New York hospitals will be forced into choosing which patients will receive care.

"The curve continues to go up," Cuomo said at a news conference in Albany, referring to the number of new COVID-19 cases across the state. There are 102,863 confirmed cases across New York, a 10% jump overnight, according to charts presented at the news conference. The Jacob K. Javits Conference Center, where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has built a temporary hospital, will be fully dedicated to coronavirus patients, Cuomo said. It was originally designed to handle other patients to free up hospital beds across New York City. "I'm going to speak to the secretary of Defense," Cuomo said when asked about the very low number of patients on the Comfort.
