New York found 908 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours out of 94,818 test results, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday.

The infection rate stands at 0.95% in New York, a positive rate that has been hovering around that mark for the last several months. Hospitalizations, however, have climbed to 511 in the state.

Seven people have been confirmed to have died from COVID-19 in the last day, Cuomo said.

"New Yorkers' ability to stay vigilant and conscientious toward their fellow citizens is critical as we continue to battle COVID-19 throughout the state," Cuomo said.

"That mindset — that I wear a mask not just to protect myself, but to protect you as well — is what will get us through to the other side. New Yorkers need to keep wearing masks, socially distancing and washing their hands, and local governments need to keep enforcing state guidance."
