What this means for New Yorkers
Governor Andrew Cuomo recently held a press conference in which he announced a new plan for reopening New York State. He explained that the state will be opening in a phased approach, with different regions opening at different times depending on a variety of factors.
The first phase of reopening will begin on May 15th, and will include construction, manufacturing, and some retail businesses. Phase two will begin a week later on May 19th and will include office work, real estate, and in-store retail shopping. Finally, phase three will begin on June 9th and will include restaurants, hotels, and other tourism-related businesses.
Each phase of reopening will only proceed if the state meets certain public health benchmarks, such as a decrease in hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19. In addition, all businesses that reopen must follow strict guidelines in order to protect employees and customers.
