"Throughout this pandemic, we've made progress by recognizing that state and local governments can't fight the virus on their own - the efforts of everyday New Yorkers to socially distance, wear masks and wash their hands are central to our ability to slow the spread and save lives," said the governor in a statement.

Cuomo's office confirmed 730 new coronavirus cases from the most recent round of testing, bringing the statewide total to 401,029.
