The total death toll in the northeastern state with around 19 million inhabitants is now 10 065, said Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday at his daily press conference. Another 671 were added between Sunday and Monday, fewer than in the previous days. “The number is practically flat, but on a terrible level of pain, grief and worry.” The total number of infections in New York is now 195 031./cah/DP/he
