White House health advisor Anthony Fauci has praised New York for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying the state responded “correctly” to bring its outbreak under control. 

“We know that, when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We have done it. We have done it in New York,” Fauci said in an interview with “PBS NewsHour” that aired Friday evening. 

 

“New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly by doing the things that you’re talking about,” he continued. 

New York was once the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States with more than 10,000 new cases a day during its peak outbreak in April. The state has dramatically reduced daily new infections to 776 as of Thursday.

New York is one of nine U.S. states that has the virus under control, according to the tracking project Covid Act Now. Less than 1% of New Yorkers tested for the virus were positive Thursday, down from a high of more than 40%.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo instituted some of the strictest reopening requirements in the country, insisting that stay-at-home orders remain in place and many businesses remain closed far longer than states that are now seeing surges such as Texas and Florida.

More than 400,000 New Yorkers have been infected by the virus since the pandemic began and at least 32,463 people have died in the state.

Dr. Fauci Touts NY As Model Of "Success" As Democrat Policy Literally DESTROYS The City, People FLEE. Andrew Cuomo and Bill Deblasio are taking heat from former governor George Pataki who says New York is going to die unless some real change occurs but Fauci praises NY as the model of success.

Democrats in NYC have cost thousands of lives notably when Cuomo put sick patients inside nursing homes. An estimated 6,500 lost their lives because of this. Now former Republican governor Pataki is threatening to run in 2022 to save the state.
