Officials on Long Island are urging residents to not live in fear of the coronavirus.

Hospitals in Nassau and Suffolk counties say they are prepared for any confirmed coronavirus cases on the Island.

As of Wednesday, there are 88 people being monitored for coronavirus on Long Island -- 26 in Suffolk County and 62 in Nassau County. One test in Nassau is pending and two are pending in Suffolk.

There are no confirmed cases of coronavirus on Long Island.

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran is encouraging residents to continue going about their lives.

"At this point, there is no reason to change your habits," Curran said. "Continue going to work, continue going to school. Please go to restaurants. I know there was some reluctance for people to go to Chinese restaurants. There was absolutely no danger, you can absolutely go to eat at your favorite restaurant. There is no need to change your habits. Please continue doing what you're doing. But please take care of yourself."
