Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the 367 deaths from the coronavirus that he reported Sunday were horrific, but the number was less than half the nearly 800 deaths that occurred in a single day during the pandemic's peak in New York, AP reports.

It is the first time this month that the statewide daily death toll has been below 400.

Cuomo also reports that the number of hospitalisations, which still topped 1,000, and the number of individuals put on a ventilator had dropped as well.

The deaths include 349 patients who died in hospitals and 18 individuals who died in nursing homes, the Democratic governor said.

On Saturday, Cuomo said there were 437 deaths on Friday.
