The Justice Department vastly expanded its inquiry into whether New York is undercounting the number of nursing home residents dead from the coronavirus, demanding the state turn over death tallies from hundreds of private facilities. The demand ratchets up pressure on Cuomo after months of criticism from even members of his own party that the state’s official tally of those dead from the disease at long-term care facilities is likely undercounted.

NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo says all restaurants, bars and gyms will have to close at 10 p.m. across New York state in the latest effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus. The governor said Wednesday that people will also be barred from hosting private gatherings with more than 10 people. Cuomo says the new restrictions go into effect Friday. He says they are necessary because new coronavirus infections have been traced to those types of activities. Only carry-out service will be allowed after 10 p.m. Businesses can reopen in the morning.
