NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- City health officials announced Friday that the number of coronavirus cases in New York City surpassed 90,000.

There have now been a total of 93,414 cases reported citywide.

The death toll rose to 5,065, up from the 4,778 reported the previous day.

The latest cases by borough:

Queens: 29,409

Brooklyn: 24,635

The Bronx: 20,265

Manhattan: 12,088

Staten Island: 6,979

During a briefing on Friday, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city is likely to surpass 100,000 positive cases of coronavirus.

"Even though we are seeing some progress, we don't know what comes next," de Blasio added.

The mayor also called on the Rent Guidelines Board to issue a rent freeze for the more than two million New Yorkers living in rent-stabilized apartments.

"The city of New York will have your back," de Blasio said.

He then asked landlords to allow residents that can't afford to pay their rent to pay for it with their security deposit.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday that New York City has a tough month ahead but that the city may be able to reach the “next phase” if it works to keep coronavirus at bay.

"We still have widespread transmission clearly," de Blasio said. "We've got a long way to go. I don't see anything getting easier in the month of April."

He said he expects shelter-in-place, business closures and other social-distancing restrictions to stay in place "through April and certainly through much of May" but that those restrictions could be "changed or relaxed" if progress is made.

The mayor said if the city continues to make progress “May might be easier than I originally feared it would be.”

He said April and May are when the city has to push back again the disease.

"We have to fight for it," de Blasio said.

The mayor said it’s “time to start planning for the next phase” while in the “toughest phase” and to “lay out the goals very clearly.”

The mayor said the city has to do the following to reach the next phase: not allowing a resurgence; keeping the health care system strong; ensuring people practice shelter-in-place and social distancing to protect the vulnerable.

De Blasio cautioned that new guidelines—mass closures, social distancing, etc.—will have to be tightened further if things worsen.

“Nobody wants to be told pretty lies, they want to be told the truth,” de Blasio said. “If we do things right … we could make some real steady progress.”

“If we don’t do things right, or if we get thrown a curve ball, we might have to tighten the restrictions further,” de Blasio said. “We have to be honest that that’s a real possibility.”

The mayor laid out three metrics that he said have to decline for 10 to 14 days before restrictions can be relaxed: people admitted to hospitals for suspected COVID-19; people admitted to hospital ICUs for suspected COVID-19; percentage of people tested who are positive for COVID-19.

The mayor said the three metrics would be updated daily starting Monday so the public could monitor if progress is being made and social-distancing restrictions are working.
