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 hospitalisations and testing for the novel coronavirus.
"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." While New York has taken a cautious approach to relaxing restrictions on business and daily life, other states - many of them in the South and Midwest - have moved to reopen even in the face of rising infections.
Cuomo said regional reopenings would be coordinated across the state and that hospitalizations and other metrics would be watched closely. If "circuit breakers" are triggered, restrictions could be put back into place, he said.
