New York hospital admitting less virus cases

A Long Island, New York hospital said it has discharged more coronavirus patients than they've admitted over a 72-hour period, a welcomed sign for the state at the epicenter of the U.S.'s outbreak. In New Jersey, a nursing home that was found to be holding 15 bodies of COVID-19 victims reportedly did not tell the family of one resident that the facility had virus patients at all.
