Reference News Network reported on November 27 that according to the Fox News Channel website, New York Governor Cathy Hochuer issued a state of emergency order on the 26th to better deal with the new coronavirus mutation "Omicron".

The emergency order is aimed at increasing hospital capacity in New York. The order will last at least until January 15, when it will be re-evaluated. Under the order, the state allowed the health department to restrict non-essential and non-emergency hospital procedures in cases where hospital beds were less than 10 percent.

Governor Khotchur said that while New York State has not found "Omicron," it needs to be prepared. She also said New York State saw "early warning signs" of a possible surge in cases. (Compiler/Ji Qinwei)
