Governor Andrew Cuomo is releasing the latest COVID-19 numbers for New York State.

Cuomo says nearly 71,000 tests were conducted on Monday and 746, or just over one-percent, were positive.

Our numbers continue to decline steadily, and for the third straight day in a row, there were no reported deaths in New York City," Cuomo said"But we must protect that progress, which is why today we are adding another state to our travel advisory.
