The number of deaths from coronavirus in New York continues to be "terribly high." To slow down the spread of the virus, residents will be given free face masks. This is reported on the site of the city hall.

From Saturday, May 2, through Tuesday, May 5, free face masks will be distributed to city dwellers in parks throughout New York. In total, it is planned to distribute more than 100 thousand such protective equipment.

This measure was taken by the authorities of New York in order to slow down the spread of coronavirus. Recall that the state was hit harder by the epidemic than others in America. As of May 2, an increase in the number of deaths from COVID-19 was recorded in New York, reported in The New York Times. According to state governor Andrew Cuomo, "this number remains appallingly high": on May 2, 299 deaths were reported in the city of New York, which is 10 more than the previous day.

To control the spread of the virus, the state conducted more than 15 thousand tests for antibodies to coronavirus. Antibodies to COVID-12,3 were found in 19% of the tested. This means that people were ill and were carriers, not knowing about it.
