The bulk of cases in the country are located in Westchester Country where there are 57 confirmed in total.
The declaration of emergency will allow the state to speed up the purchasing of supplies and the hiring workers to assist local health departments that have been handling the monitoring of thousands of self-quarantined patients, Cuomo said.
