New York had 918 new cases of coronavirus confirmed on Thursday, the governor announced, in what he said was 'a reminder that the virus is still here'. The grim new tally was the first time that new infections were above 900 since June 12. More than 24,800 people with COVID-19 have died in New York since the first deaths were reported in March. New York's tally came as 40 states across the country reported a rise in the number of infections.
