New York state officials will be able to seize ventilators from hospitals and other institutions that officials decide don’t need them, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Friday.

An executive order Cuomo planned to sign would let the state take ventilators to redistribute them to hospitals in need, the governor said at a press conference in Albany.
