PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP on Saturday said that the federal government is deploying additional military personnel to New York City to respond to a rising number of coronavirus cases, even as he strongly reiterated his desire to see the country reopen.
Trump said at a White House press conference that an additional 1,000 military medical personnel will report to the city, which is struggling to keep up with the surge of COVID-19 cases. The additional personnel will include doctors, nurses and other health care workers.
New York state has more than 113,700 cases and 3,565 deaths. Officials report more than 63,300 cases in New York City, with 2,624 deaths. More than 11,730 people are hospitalized across the five boroughs.
