New York surpasses 10,000 deathspublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 13 April 2020Breaking
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has reported 671 news deaths on Easter sunday, raising the state's death toll to 10,056.
The 24-hour death tolls are falling but the figure is still too high, says Cuomo, adding that the dreaded "apex" appears to be more of a "plateau".
The curve - the rate of new infections and deaths - is "basically flat at a horrific level of pain and grief and sorrow", Cuomo says.
