STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Hospitalizations for the coronavirus (COVID-19) remained mostly steady on Staten Island on Sunday; however, the boroughs overall death total rose by 23, according to the latest figures from the city Health Department.
The New York City Department of Health data, which accounts for cases and deaths as of 6 p.m. on Saturday, showed 556 Staten Islanders are confirmed to have died from the coronavirus and that 127 are listed as probable to have died from the virus bringing the boroughs total to 683.
The latest data showed an increase of 30 confirmed deaths, but a decrease of 7 probable deaths from Friday nights total. It is unclear if previously probable deaths were added to the confirmed death total.
A death is classified as probable if the decedent was a city resident who had no known positive laboratory test for the coronavirus, but the death certificate lists COVID-19 or an equivalent as a cause of death.
Citywide, 11,460 New York City residents are confirmed to have died from the virus. An additional 5,213 are listed as probable deaths for a total 16,673 deaths.
