Coronavirus pandemic in the US

New York City has at least 13,724 confirmed coronavirus deaths, as well as at least 5,383 probable coronavirus deaths, according to the city website.

The total number of confirmed coronavirus deaths and probable coronavirus deaths in New York City is 19,107.

What this means: The New York City Health Department defines probable deaths as people who did not have a positive Covid-19 laboratory test, but their death certificate lists as the cause of death “COVID-19” or an equivalent. 

The data is from the New York City Health Department and was updated on today at 1 p.m. ET, according to the website.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said he does not know when non-essential businesses will be able to reopen again.

Murphy told reporters Tuesday that he could not give a date yet, but stressed that it was something his administration was looking at “very carefully.”

“We are not out of the woods here,” Murphy said. 

Long-term care facilities: New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli announced today that the state was planning to conduct coronavirus testing at 74 long term care facilities in the next two weeks, prioritizing facilities with fewer cases so that immediate action could be taken to increase infection control protocols and further prevent the spread of the disease.

Both Murphy and Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said the state’s investigation into long-term care facilities was in its first phase, and that for many facilities, the coronavirus pandemic was likely the “equivalent of a 500 year flood.” 

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced the state will need to make $775 million in budget cuts over the next two months.

DeWine announced that the state’s fiscal revenues to date are below budgeted estimates by $776.9 million and the state is projecting that revenues will continue to be below budget moving forward through the Covid-19 pandemic.

The governor said the pandemic doesn’t exempt the state from balancing its budget.

Ohio is opting not to draw down money from its rainy day fund, making cuts instead, according to DeWine, who said Ohio will need the rainy day fund next year and possibly the year after.

According to DeWine, here is where the state’s $775 million cuts will be made:

“I have asked each agency director to continue to identify savings in their budgets for the remainder of this fiscal year and next fiscal year. Moving forward, all state agencies will continue the hiring freeze as well as the freeze on pay increases and promotions,” DeWine added.

The Smithfield Foods, Inc. meat plant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, reopened this week after it closed following an outbreak of coronavirus.

The city's mayor said it’s still “hard” to determine what an appropriate safety level looks like.

Five different workplaces in Iowa experienced a coronavirus outbreak, officials said.

Deputy Director of Iowa Public Health Sarah Reisetter identified these workplaces as having either 10% absenteeism of its workforce or 10% of its workforce testing positive for Covid-19 or having come into close contact with someone with coronavirus.

 These are the five workplaces identified by the state:

Reisetter described these places of employment as high risk environments for the potential of Covid-19 transmission. She said that these are places in which social distancing is impossible or impractical. The workplaces include, but are not limited to, meat packing plants, food and beverage processing plants, factories with production lines and warehouses.

There has been at least 1,192,119 cases of coronavirus in the US, according to Johns Hopkins University.

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced today that the state has 510 active cases of coronavirus and 667 recovered cases.

He said they have not had any coronavirus-related deaths since Saturday.

“Our overall trend line is still trending in a good way,” Justice said, referencing the number of positive cases of Covid-19.

The governor spoke more about the “West Virginia Strong” comeback plan, saying they would enter the next phase of reopening on Monday.

The governor also said that people who have exhausted their unemployment benefits can now apply for pandemic emergency unemployment compensation, which gives them a 13-week extension of their unemployment benefits.

Several small schools are planning to reopen in parts of Montana as soon as this Thursday, according to local education officials. The schools have under 100 students each, and have come up with comprehensive plans to ensure student and teacher safety, they say.

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock said schools may reopen as soon as May 7, although it's up to the local districts to decide whether or not they wish to open, according to a release distributed April 22.

Willow Creek School, which has between 50 to 60 students in grades K-12, will be opening May 7, according to Gallatin County Superintendent of Schools, Matthew Henry.

While Willow Creek is not in his district, Henry confirmed to CNN that Willow Creek's board "had voted unanimously to reopen and practice the social distancing guidelines."

In Garfield County, the Cohagen Elementary School, grades K-8, will also reopen on May 7. 

According to Garfield County Superintendent Heather Gibson, it is a one-teacher schoolhouse with 14 students, who come from 4 families. Gibson said she believes all 14 students plan on coming back.

Three other schools in Gallatin County are either reopening or finalizing plans to reopen later in May.

Gallatin County currently has zero active coronavirus cases.

Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo announced today that she will sign an executive order directing all residents to wear a cloth face mask in a public place.

The order will go in to effect Friday. 

Raimondo said residents in indoor or outdoor public places will have to wear face coverings, with an exception for children, the "developmentally unable" and those with underlying breathing conditions that will make it difficult to wear a mask. 

By the numbers: Raimondo also reported 281 new coronavirus cases and 14 deaths in the state, adding that hospitalizations and Covid-19 cases are "flattening out."

"In the context of Covid-19 crisis, I feel good about where we are," Raimondo said. 

As of Tuesday, the state has a total of 9,933 positive Covid-19 cases and 355 deaths.
