New York survey shows many hospitalized coronavirus patients were not working or traveling
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo just announced preliminary results of a survey of new hospitalized coronavirus patients across the state.
Many of the patients....
- Were not working or traveling
- Are predominantly from downstate
- Are predominantly minorities
- Are predominantly older (that means 51 years old and older)
- Are predominantly nonessential employees
- Were predominantly at home at the time of infection (either working from home or not working)
"Much of this comes down to what you do to protect yourself … it comes down to personal behavior," Cuomo said, reiterating the importance of wearing a face covering, using hand sanitizer and social distancing – especially from vulnerable people and populations.
The initial results are drawn from surveys of approximately 1,000 patients from around 100 hospitals across the state over three days, he said.
