'No time for politics' in fight against coronavirus -NY's Cuomo

Speaking at a makeshift hospital in Manhattan preparing to receive its first patients on Monday, Cuomo sought to divert attention from any tension with Trump, with whom he has tussled in recent days over the distribution of ventilators in storage.

"Anyone who says this situation is a New York City only situation, is in a state of denial," Cuomo said.

Cuomo also stated that 66,497 people had tested positive in New York, up about 7,000 from Sunday, and that 1,218 New Yorkers had died from the virus, up from the previous day's total of 965 deaths.
