    • Gov. Cuomo: Total hospitalizations are down again. 195 New Yorkers died from COVID-19 on Monday.

    • Second: Antibody testing.
    • Third: hospitalization rate vs. hospital capacity.
    • Fourth: Infection rate.
    • Gov. Cuomo says the state needs $61 billion in federal support or their will be cuts to schools, local governments and hospitals.
    • Gov. Cuomo says he and Gov. Larry Hogan, of Maryland, are issuing a joint statement asking for financial relief to states in next federal stimulus bill.
    • Gov. Cuomo outlines the 'Americans First Law;' which says if a corporation does not rehire the same number of employees it had pre-pandemic, it will not receive any federal money.
