Health Commissioner Tom Farley said the man who was in his 50s had an underlying health condition. The city did not release additional information to respect the patient’s privacy, according to Farley.

He reported an additional 93 new cases of COVID-19 Wednesday, bringing the city’s tally to 342.

Farley said people ages 20 through 39 make up roughly 48% of the cases. Twelve of the coronavirus patients are under the age of 20. People ages 40 through 59 make up 85 of the cases. Seniors over 60 make up the remaining 82 cases.

Health care workers account for 37 cases.

“We can’t save everyone, we want to save as many people as possible, which is why we’re taking all the steps we can to try and slow the spread of this infection,” Farley said.
