( Reuters) – The United States gets in one of the most critical weeks so far in the coronavirus crisis with the death toll taking off in New York, Michigan and Louisiana, however a couple of guvs still resisted releasing stay-at-home orders and a handful of churches held big Palm Sunday services.
New York City, the hardest-hit state, reported on Sunday that, for the very first time in a week, deaths had fallen slightly from the day in the past, however there were still almost 600 new deaths and more than 7,300 brand-new cases. Places such as Pennsylvania, Colorado and Washington, D.C. are starting to see increasing deaths.
Bodies of victims of COVID-19, the flu-like respiratory illness brought on by the coronavirus, were stacked in intense orange bags inside a makeshift morgue outside the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, according to photos provided to Reuters.
New York City Guv Andrew Cuomo stated on Sunday that brand-new hospitalizations had actually fallen by 50%over the previous 24 hours, but he cautioned that it was not yet clear whether the crisis was reaching a plateau in the state, which has an overall of 4,159 deaths and more than 122,000 cases.

” The coronavirus is really vicious and reliable at what the virus does,” Cuomo informed a day-to-day briefing. “It’s an effective killer.”
Once the peak of the epidemic passes, Cuomo said a mass rollout of quick testing will be important to help the nation “go back to normalcy.”
