By November 2020, New York had recorded roughly 34,000 to 35,000 total COVID-19 deaths statewide. This figure is commonly reported for the state as a whole around that time, with exact totals depending on the cutoff date and whether the count includes confirmed only or confirmed plus probable deaths.

What that means

  • New York City alone accounted for a very large share of those deaths in 2020.
  • If you mean New York State , the total by November 2020 was in the mid-30,000s.
  • If you mean New York City only , the number is lower than the statewide total and needs a city-specific cutoff date to pin down exactly.

Small caveat

Public dashboards and reports often use different reporting rules, so totals can vary slightly by source and by the day in November you mean.
