New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday, May 16 the state's new confirmed COVID-19 cases are predominantly, coming from people who left their homes to shop, exercise or socialise, rather than from essential workers. State data showed the number of new cases statewide has fluctuated between 2,100 and 2,500 per day. On Saturday, the number of new cases decreased to 2,419, from 2,762 on Friday. Cuomo said while last week he had theorised that new cases were coming from essential workers, "that was exactly wrong". The infection rate among essential workers is lower than the general population and those new cases are coming predominantly from people who are not working and they are at home. The state's budget director, Robert Mujica, said officials expect to learn a lot more about the genesis of new cases from contact tracing over the next week//CNA/Reuters
