New York Governor Andrew Cuomo took a coronavirus test during his televised briefing and urged any fellow New Yorkers with symptoms or having been exposed to the virus to follow his example, AFP reported.

“You don't have to be New York tough to take that test,” he said during the live broadcast of his popular daily briefing.

“You have to be smart, united, disciplined; you have to love yourself, your family, New Yorkers,” he said, after a nurse in protective gown, mask and face shield had Cuomo close his eyes while she inserted a nasal swab to take a sample.
