Almost 14% of 3,000 New Yorkers test positive
Random testing of 3,000 New Yorkers revealed that
13.9% were infected with coronavirus and developed an antibody, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday. Cuomo, who said the data was preliminary, said it’s thus likely that 2.7 million people in the state have been infected, with a death rate of 0.5%. The data was collected over two days in 19 counties and 40 localities across New York. Men tested positive at a higher rate than women, New York City residents at a higher rate, about 21%, than the rest of the state.
"These were people out and about," Cuomo said. "They were infected, they had the antibody and are now recovered."
Cuomo, extrapolating the data, said it’s likely 2.7 million people in the state have been infected, with a death rate of 0.5%. More than 15,000 New Yorkers have died.
