Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that New York will offer death benefits to public front-line workers who were COVID-19 victims.
Memorial Day events took on a new form Monday as America honored its fallen forces and commemorated the holiday under social distancing rules, even as the national death toll from COVID-19 climbed toward a grim milestone — 100,000 lives.
“We know something about loss because we’re living it again. Over 100,000 Americans will lose their lives to this COVID virus,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday during his daily news briefing aboard the Intrepid, a retired aircraft carrier that serves as a museum.President Trump salutes after placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery to honor Memorial Day in Arlington, Va.
“I also believe that the federal government should be doing the same, honoring the front-line workers, showing Americans that we appreciate what you did, that you showed up when it was hard,” he said. There were 96 COVID-19 deaths Sunday in the state, including 21 in nursing homes, Cuomo said Monday. Deaths in New York state have ranged from 84 to 112 a day since Tuesday. More than 29,000 state residents have died of COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins Unversity.
