Cuomo gave updated numbers at his daily coronavirus update Monday, saying the state's cases were up to at least 66,497 and the state's deaths were up to at least 1,218.

The governor discussed a statewide meeting of the health care establishment at which they talked about sharing staff, resources, supplies and case loads. He described it as a "health care family as opposed to distinct operations."

Cuomo pushed for relief from out-of-state to help New York's health care professionals on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. He said New York would return the favor once the state is on the other side of the curve.

Cuomo made a call for no partisanship as the state and country deals with the coronavirus pandemic, saying it is un-American to get into political disputes right now. Cuomo did, however, refute the president's comments about PPE "going out the back door."
