Andrew Mark Cuomo, Governor of New York said 481 New Yorkers died of coronavirus Tuesday as he stressed the importance of flattening the pandemic curve across the length and breadth of NYS.

Speaking from Buffalo, Cuomo vowed to surge resources to each community as it suffers a coronavirus outbreak. “We are one state, one family, one community,” he said. “The rest of the state will be there for you.”

Along with his daily charts of statewide cases, which are weighted toward the city and suburbs and show a clear decline in hospitalizations, the governor showed a chart of Buffalo’s Erie County, which is still rising or at a plateau.

Seven people died in the Buffalo area in the past day, a high number for the biggest city in western New York.
