BOB JOHNSON FOR CONGRESS issued the following announcement on July 21.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo flew to Savannah on Monday bearing gifts of personal protective equipment, testing supplies and some insight into fighting the COVID-19 battle.
Cuomo said earlier Monday that he wanted to repay other states for their help when New York needed it earlier this year.
New York saw some of the worst numbers in deaths and positive rates early in the pandemic, with new cases in the thousands reported each day.
The state’s current COVID-19 numbers are at their lowest since mid-March, Cuomo said.
Cuomo made his remarks after a roundtable discussion with Savannah Mayor Van Johnson, local health and faith leaders and members of his administration who have been working to curb the virus.
Johnson said Cuomo’s office reached out to Savannah with an offer of help, and Johnson accepted.
“If you want to win, you follow a winner,” Johnson said. “And New York went from worst to first.”
Cuomo said the state learned the hard way how to slow the novel coronavirus.
