New York is the center of the pandemic in the U.S., with its 37,802 infections accounting for nearly half of all cases in the country and tens of thousands more than any other state.
China has reported a sustained decline in the number of new domestically transmitted infections in recent weeks, even infections have risen among people arriving from abroad.
