New York City’s lockdown is likely to continue into June, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday at a press briefing.
The state has been under lockdown since March in an attempt to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has said that some regions of the state will be able to reopen beginning May 15, but that likely wouldn’t include hard-hit New York City.
