New York Governor Andrew Cuomo held his daily COVID-19 press conference on Tuesday from SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York. Cuomo said that the crisis has shown that New York "has to do better" when it comes to health education as well as supporting the "basic healthcare system."

New COVID-19 hospitalizations in New York state are averaging under 1,000 a day for the first time this month. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday the data is the latest sign of slowly decreasing pressure on the health care system.

The daily death toll dropped again, with 335 deaths reported Monday. That is the lowest daily tally recorded in April and the third straight day under 400.

Cuomo also outlined the criteria he said would be considered "danger signs" as parts of the state plant o reopen their economies, including benchmark numbers of hospitalization rates or rates of infection.
