With the spread of coronavirus slowing in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo said Monday the state economy is ready to begin reopening, with some regions authorized to do so as soon as this week.
Businesses including construction, curbside retail, drive-in movies and some recreational activities will reopen this week on a regional basis, with each area having met seven criteria, including low rates of virus-related hospitalizations and certain testing and tracing measures in place. There will be control rooms to monitor each area’s reopening, ensuring they meet the metrics, the governor said.
