New York State cumulative COVID-19 cases from Mar. 4, 2020 - Mar. 7, 2021, by day
The number of positive COVID-19 cases in the state of New York reached almost 1.7 million by March 7, 2021. The first case of the novel coronavirus in New York State was confirmed at the start of March 2020.
New Yorkers urged to work from home
The coronavirus has caused widespread suffering, and New York is among the states with the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the United States. A quick and aggressive response to the initial outbreak was required as the virus stretched hospitals in New York State to their maximum capacity. In mid-March 2020, Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered all workers in non-essential businesses to work from home. As part of the state’s reopening plans in 2021, remote work continues to be encouraged and remains one of the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The importance of coronavirus testing
As of March 6, 2021, there had been almost 40 million COVID-19 tests in New York State, meaning it was one of the states with the highest number of coronavirus tests conducted in the U.S. Widespread testing, which also includes testing people with no symptoms, is essential for tracking the true spread of the coronavirus. By identifying more positive infections, health authorities can quickly manage the areas with high cases, and states can avoid tighter restrictions in the weeks and months ahead.
