The statewide death toll was more than 960; at least 775 of those deaths were in New York City, according to the latest figures Sunday evening from the city and state, and county-level data compiled by The Times.

Governor Cuomo said earlier yesterday that more than 230 people had died in the state since Saturday. It was the state’s largest one-day increase in coronavirus deaths.

The projections, he said, suggested that the crisis would worsen.

“I don’t think there’s any way to look at those numbers without seeing thousands of people pass away,” the governor said.

As of yesterday evening, there were nearly 60,000 cases of the coronavirus in the state. More than half of those cases, nearly 34,000, were in New York City, according to data from the city and state.
