During a briefing on the novel
coronavirus earlier today, Governor Cuomo confirmed 11 additional cases of
novel coronavirus, bringing the total to 22 confirmed cases in New York State.
Of the 22 individuals who tested positive for the virus, one resides in Nassau
County, three reside in New York City and 18 reside in Westchester County. In
response to the growing number of cases, the Governor activated the statewide
Emergency Operation Center in Albany, as well as two Emergency Operations
Center outposts in Westchester County: one in Hawthorne and one in New
Rochelle.
The Manslaughter Trial of
Kimberly Steeley continues today in Otsego County Court. Steeley is accused of the asphyxiation deaths
of her 2 infants 2 weeks apart in East Worcester in June of 2018.
A group of State Senate &
Assembly Minority Republicans are looking to get an increase in local Highway
funding in the CHIPS program, which has not been increased in 7 years. Governor Cuomo has forwarded a $275 Billion
Dollar Infrastructure program in his latest Budget proposal for highway &
bridge projects.
The State Assembly & Senate
have approved of a bill that requires backseat adult passengers to buckle
up. Current law requires front seat
adult passengers to be buckled, but the legislation would force adult backseat
passengers to use a seat belt too - a move supporters say will save lives and
cut down on the risk posed to buckled-in front seat riders.
The State Health Department
announced that New York has set a record with the number of flu cases reported
this season. Over 130,000 cases of lab-confirmed
flu has been reported, it's the highest number of cases reported since tracking
began during the 1998-99 season.
Following a meeting at the White House with Vice President Mike Pence, Congressman Anthony Brindisi announced his support for the $8.3 billion Corona Virus emergency response plan in Congress.
