Governor Andrew Cuomo will close indoor dining at New York City restaurants, dealing a new blow to social and economic life after coronavirus statistics swept past benchmarks.
Transmission of the virus is increasing in denser areas, Cuomo said Friday at a briefing in Albany, and the governor said he would tighten rules that determine when regions must lock down. New York City’s restaurants are the most extreme example, he said.
