New York City increases coronavirus death toll by 3,700 as it includes presumed cases

NEW YORK – New York City, already a world epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, sharply increased its death toll by more than 3,700 victims on Tuesday, after officials said they were now including people who had never tested positive for the virus but were presumed to have died of it.

The new figures, released by the city's Health Department, drove up the number of people killed in New York City to more than 10,000, and appeared to increase the overall U.S. death count by 17% to more than 26,000.
