Governors across the U.S. are encouraging people to continue practicing social distancing amid summer weather
With warmer weather arriving amid the coronavirus pandemic, some state and local government officials are ordering enhanced safety measures as more people return to the streets.
“This has never been done before and it’s an extraordinary effort,” Cuomo said during a news conference Saturday. “The riding public deserves this. Essential workers deserve this. Transit workers deserve this.”Cuomo said he understands that New Yorkers would face difficulty remaining indoors all day as the weather warms.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday that, starting next week, the city would begin to open 40 miles of streets to pedestrians.“The open streets are going to be another way to help encourage social distancing, because the warmer weather tells us we’re going to have a new challenge,” de Blasio told reporters.
