NEW YORK - Mayor Bill de Blasio says the big three indicators continue to show New Yorkers' efforts are paying off in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

The mayor says the number of new hospitalizations for coronavirus in has fallen under 100 to 88 in the last two days.

The number of people in ICUs is down from 645 to 632, but is still approximately double the usual capacity.

The number of people of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 citywide is down from 20 to 17 percent.

Mayor de Blasio says while New Yorkers have done a great job following the facial covering guidelines, the city is going even further in its distribution with a goal of 7.5 million.

The masks will be distributed citywide, including at NYCHA, DOE Grab & Go meal sites, city parks, Mitchell-Lama buildings, grocery stores and during social distancing enforcement.

"Wherever you turn you are going to be offered a face covering," De Blasio said.

The mayor says five million being handed out are the three-ply non-medical masks that can be used multiple times before being disposed of.

Another 2.5 million will be cloth face coverings that can be washed.

The mayor says for the first time since March, the city’s frontline workers are entering the week having all the personal protective equipment, or PPE, that they need.

As the city continues to build its medical equipment reserve, the goal is to create and maintain a 90 day stockpile of PPE and supplies for future spikes. 

The mayor also said the city is surging PPEs into the city's nursing homes which have been particularly hard with COVID-19 cases and deaths. 

"We have a little breathing room, we can ensure for the whole week ahead that every hospital nursing home will have what they need," De Blasio added.

The mayor says there are questions if private facilities like nursing homes did as best as they could, but for now the city will make sure they have the materials they need.
