Coronavirus 'hysteria here is way out of line': Gov. Cuomo

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo briefed reporters on coronavirus cases in the state and said, "this is not ebola, this is not SARS, this is not some science fiction movie come to life.

The hysteria here is way out of line with the actuality and the facts."

The number of people who have tested positive for the coronavirus across New York state has increased to 142 from 105 the day before, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday (March 9).

Most of the cases are in Westchester county, where a Manhattan lawyer believed to be at the center of the outbreak there resides, Cuomo told a news conference.

After saying the 'hysteria' was out of line, Cuomo said, "but for a vulnerable population member, senior citizen, underlying illness, be careful."
