New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that several upstate regions could start reopening their economies this weekend
- New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday that several regions of the state outside New York City could start reopening their economies this weekend after meeting criteria related to hospitalizations and testing for the coronavirus, demonstrating that they are “ready to go.”
“Some regions are ready to go today,” Cuomo told a daily briefing. “They just need to get some logistical pieces in order by the end of the week.” These deaths could be directly or indirectly attributed to the virus, including people who did not seek life-saving care for fear of exposure to COVID-19, and suggest the running death tally likely understates the actual toll, the CDC said.
Cuomo, who has emerged as a leading national voice on the crisis, warned that reopening too quickly could backfire. “We just made it over the mountain. Nobody wants to go back to the other side of the mountain,” the governor said.
