NY's Gov. Cuomo: 'Now is not the time to slack off'

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday that recent data suggests the state's coronavirus crisis may be hitting a plateau, but warned residents to stay vigilant in their social distancing efforts.

"This is an enemy we have underestimated from day one and we have paid the price dearly," Cuomo said during a news conference in Albany, New York on Monday (April 6).

He told New Yorkers to continue their social distancing efforts even though data - including hospitalizations and deaths - suggest the state's crisis may be hitting a plateau.

Cuomo also told a news briefing that he was extending an order to keep non-essential businesses and schools closed for another two weeks until April 29.
