NEW YORK: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo donned a face mask and rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, marking the partial reopening of the trading floor at the iconic 11 Wall Street building, which had been closed since March 23 due to the coronavirus.
"The protections have been designed to prevent an outbreak so that likelihood of infection passing around the floor is greatly diminished," she said. New York City has been hit hard, with more than 20,000 deaths from COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, and many businesses remain closed as the most populated U.S. city remains under lockdown."As trading on this iconic floor recommences, New York is showing the nation that we will lead the lead way," said Cuomo.
The NYSE floor is the last of its kind in the United States, as a slew of all-electronic competitors have eaten away at the Big Board's once-dominant market share.
