As we see the novel #coronavirus spread, we are continuing to take all necessary precautions to protect New Yorkers from this virus.

Today I'm announcing new actions to help ensure our healthcare systems & hospitals are equipped to respond to a potential COVID-19 pandemic.
A new $40 million emergency appropriation will allow @HealthNYGov to hire additional staff and procure equipment and other resources they need to respond to any emergency situation that may arise.
Additionally, @HealthNYGov will convene conferences with local health departments and hospitals statewide to review protocols & procedures. DOH will also work closely with @MTA and @PANYNJ.
This is not a situation that should cause undue fear among New Yorkers.

For perspective, we've had 17,000 people in NYS last week who tested positive with the flu.

We've dealt with situations like this in the past and we will deal with it again.
There are still zero confirmed cases of COVID-19 in NYS. 26 samples have been tested by CDC and came back negative. One is still pending.

If you have concerns about symptoms or travel, New Yorkers call the DOH hotline at 1-888-364-3065.
