Cuomo praised the declining death rate as a “record low” and expressed optimism that it could fall further. All of New York’s regions—with the exception of New York City, which will begin reopening on June 8—are now either in Phase 1 or Phase 2 reopening. Cuomo announced on Saturday that for regions currently in Phase 2 reopening, churches, mosques and temples can “immediately” reopen under 25% capacity and social distancing guidelines. The New York governor also said he plans to sign an executive order allowing the state to prosecute anyone involved in price gouging of PPE or other medical supplies.“Compared to where we were, this is a big sigh of relief,” Cuomo said on Saturday. “The metrics and health data across the state are very positive.”
