New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says the low number of coronavirus cases in New York City means the city can now begin reopening
People who had been staying home for months boarded subways and buses as the most populous U.S. city began a hopeful journey toward economic recovery.
New York, by far the hardest-hit U.S. city, on Monday reported the rate of people testing positive for the coronavirus fell to a new low of 3%, well below its threshold for reopening of 15%, de Blasio said. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo noted that the rest of the state already has entered the same reopening phase without a jump in infections, largely because of restrictions that limit restaurants to serving guests only outdoors and retailers to making only curbside sales.
De Blasio said the city is opening 20 miles of new bus routes and new bus lanes from June through October to increase spacing between mass transit passengers.
