332ds agoSunday marks a year since the first New Yorker died from the coronavirus.
An elderly patient spent her final moments at Wyckoff Hospital in Brooklyn.
Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted information as the news broke, saying “The
patient, an elderly woman with advanced emphysema, was admitted to the hospital
last week as one of our first cases, and had been in critical condition ever
since.”
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a year ago that the
state had a total of 612 positive coronavirus cases.
He also announced a second
coronavirus-related death, a 65-year-old man in Rockland County.
The number of positivity coronavirus cases have surpassed over 774,000
throughout the city.
During a virtual ceremony, the mayor expressed sympathy
for the lives lost and sent an optimistic message for the future as COVID-19
cases and deaths in the city continue to decline.
