NYS reported the first positive case of coronavirus

Governor Cuomo reported a female in her late 30's tested positive for COVID-19. This is one of the traveler returning from Iran, Cuomo stated, The positive test was confirmed by New York's Wadsworth Lab in Albany, underscoring the importance of the ability for our state to ensure efficient and rapid turnaround, and is exactly why I advocated for the approval from Vice President Pence that New York was granted just yesterday. There is no cause for surprise -- this was expected. As I said from the beginning, it was a matter of when, not if there would be a positive case of novel coronavirus in New York. The woman is isolated in her home in Manhattan in a controlled situation. Also, Cuomo is calling for $40 million budget for emergency management.
