The US state of New York reported 73 deaths from the coronavirus in the past 24 hours, according Tuesday to Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

Speaking at his daily news briefing, the governor said the number is the lowest since March 1, when he announced a Manhattan woman who traveled in Iran, as the first confirmed case in the state.

"That's the lowest level that we have seen since this started. So, again, in this absurd new reality, that is good news," Cuomo told reporters.

He said the number of hospitalizations and intubations are also declining.
