New York State has become the largest outbreak of the emerging Corona virus, as more cases are recorded than any other country around the world.
The official reports issued by the New York State government and the office of the state governor Andrew Como said on Friday that the American state has turned into the capital of Corona in the world, after the number of injured people exceeded more than 161 thousand people, surpassing Spain, which recorded 152446 cases, and Italy by 143,626 cases Where the state recorded Thursday (9/4) a jump with 10 thousand cases, which put it directly before Spain and Italy.
Friday morning (4/10), the state recorded a total of 7100 deaths.
As for New York City, which was characterized by its overcrowding, crowded theaters, museums, restaurants, and multi-lingual languages, which became completely empty, and the movement stopped almost completely, it recorded 82,240 cases on Thursday, of which 5300 deaths.
It is noteworthy that the United States as a whole recorded 470,000 injuries as of Friday morning and 16,800 deaths, while China has settled 81,865 cases, according to the latest data.
The number of deaths in the state is similar to the number of deaths in the United Kingdom, with more than 7,000 people out of the total deaths at the level of the United States, knowing that the population of New York State is just under a third of the UK population of about 20 million people.
The state bury victims of the virus in mass graves on Hart Island, opposite the Bronx neighborhood of New York City, and the area has been used for mass burials for the past 150 years, for those who have no relatives, or whose families cannot afford funerals.

Usually about 25 bodies are buried every week by the low-wage prison inmates working on the island, which is only accessible by boat.
This number began to increase in March, with the new virus spreading rapidly, making New York the epicenter of the global epidemic.
Jason Kirsten, a spokesman for the Reform Administration that oversees the funeral, is reported by local media in New York that about 24 bodies are buried every day on the island. He explained that before burial, the dead are wrapped in body bags, placed inside the coffin, and buried in long and narrow trenches dug by drilling machines.
US officials have expected disturbing numbers of deaths from the virus this week, especially between Easter Sunday, April 12 and Thursday, April 16, 2020, even with evidence that the number of new infections has settled in New York State, the epicenter of the disease in the United States .
