Cuomo says 'major reopening' of New York to begin May 19
Fox News
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday announced that the state is preparing for a “major reopening” on May 19, with most coronavirus-induced capacity restrictions to be lifted at that time.
This is the first time in more than a year that New York has seen an end to capacity restrictions, with the governor noting the state’s vaccination rate is largely behind the ability to reopen. "Our positivity rate has been going way down dramatically; 50% decline in the last month," the governor said. "Congratulations to New Yorkers. Hospitalization rate, skiing down the mountain, 38% decline over the last month. Vaccination rate: The exact opposite, it’s been going straight up. We’re now up to 9 million New Yorkers with at least one dose, 7 million New Yorkers are fully vaccinated."More Related News
