He urged protesters to act as if they have been exposed by telling those that they live with, and getting tested.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Thursday that people in New York City protesting the death of George Floyd should assume they have been exposed to the coronavirus."If you were at a protest I would assume you're exposed," Cuomo said.
"The protesters themselves could wind up creating a spike," he said, noting that it won't be clear for at least two weeks. Every region statewide has been allowed to begin reopening except for New York City. As of Thursday, the city had met five out of seven metrics to reopen, according to the state's"regional un-pause dashboard," but is expected to begin phase one of reopening on Monday, June 8.
