Staying at home is working.

That’s the message that New York’s most powerful politicians and health experts have delivered this week as data from the Empire State’s hospitals show the tsunami of coronavirus cases is beginning to slow down, even as the death toll soars.

“Where do we go from here? First, keep doing what we’re doing. Stay home because that works,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters during his daily briefing in Albany on Friday. “We are flattening the curve, we must continue to flatten the curve.”

Cuomo’s presentation included new stats that showed how the slowdown was helping.

The number of patients being placed on ventilators decreased, with an average 97 daily new cases over the last three days — just a third of what it was on April 4, 309.

The number of hospital admissions also continued to tick downward, with an average of 359 daily new patients over the last three days.

The number of new patients needing intensive care has continued to slow down, and on Thursday a small number of beds were freed up for the first time since the pandemic began.

That state data tracks with what city officials are seeing. Mayor Bill de Blasio said this week that for the first time in a month his fears that the city’s limited supply of ventilators would be overwhelmed had begun to abate.

“By this point this week we thought we’d be seeing 300 or more people each day, more people each day, who needed a ventilator. Now it’s about 100 people more each day and that might even be going down,” de Blasio said Wednesday.

The curve flattening comes as the coronavirus has already exacted a devastating toll in the five boroughs, killing more than 5,000 as of Friday morning.

That’s led both Cuomo and de Blasio to repeatedly warned that the gains will be fleeting if New Yorkers stopped obeying the shutdown and social distancing orders.

“We’ve had just a few good days where we’ve seen a little bit of progress but not a fundamental change yet,” de Blasio cautioned in an interview set to air on “NBC Nightly News” on Friday.
