NEW YORK — Two more people in New York City have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Thursday morning.

"One new patient is a male in his 40s, and one new patient is a woman in her 80s. Neither patient has a connection to travel nor any of the other local individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. Both are currently hospitalized and in the intensive care unit," the mayor said in a statement.

The total number of confirmed cases in the state is 13.

De Blasio first mentioned the new confirmed cases during an interview on “Morning Joe.”

“We only have four people, as of this morning, who have tested positive. Of the tests we have completed, 25 have come back negative so far, so the batting average is good. On the four people, the ones who were previously tested, the two of them are doing better," de Blasio said.

City health officials are tracing close contacts with both individuals and will ensure they are properly isolated and tested immediately.

The news comes a day after several people were confirmed to have the virus.

Of the cases, 10 people are connected to each other.

A Westchester lawyer was the second person confirmed to have the sickness. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday that the lawyer’s wife, son and daughter tested positive, as well as a neighbor who drove him to the hospital.

Cuomo also confirmed that five more people tested positive — All of the patients are members of the same family, according to the governor. A man, his wife, their two sons and one daughter tested positive. A second daughter tested negative, he said.

The man is a friend of the 50-year-old Westchester lawyer and recently spent time together and had been in close proximity.

More than 1,000 people are under self-quarantine after likely coming in close contact with the lawyer.

A Manhattan woman also tested positive for the case after recently traveling from Iran. She has self-quarantined herself at her residence.

Cuomo warned there will be "dozens and dozens and dozens" of cases in the state.
