At his daily press briefing Saturday, Governor Andrew Cuomo reported that 540 New Yorkers had died from COVID-19 the day before, continuing a string of increasingly lower numbers. Statewide, the total number of coronavirus deaths reached 13,362, but the continued incremental decline supports speculation that the pandemic is indeed flattening out—at least in New York State.
Cuomo continued his call for more testing and urged the federal government to assist in acquiring the chemical reagents necessary to ramping up production. Without widespread testing, Cuomo warned, it would be premature to talk about re-opening the state’s businesses and schools.
This weekend marks the start of a statewide requirement to wear masks or other protective facial covering while using public transportation or participating in any other activity where social distancing was impossible.

The Governor also issued an Executive Order allowing New Yorkers to obtain a marriage license remotely and allowing clerks to perform ceremonies via video conference, a practice banned under current law. Many marriage bureaus have temporarily closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing New Yorkers from getting a marriage license during the current emergency; the Executive Order will temporarily suspend a provision of law that requires in-person visits.
