‘It's a phased reopening. But we are at a point now where we are going to take a major step forward,’ said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as he announced most capacity restrictions on businesses in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey will end on May 19

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who announced the plan coordinated with the governors of other states in the U.S. Northeast region, said the decision was based on a steady decline in the positive rate of COVID-19 tests and hospitalizations.The percentage of New Yorkers testing positive for the coronavirus dropped 50% over the last month, and hospitalizations decreased by nearly 40% during the same period, he said.

Cuomo also announced that the New York City subway system, which has been closing from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. for disinfecting stations and cars, will resume its 24-hour service beginning on May 17. Certain protocols such as maintaining 6 feet of space between people will remain in place, Cuomo said, in line with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. Exceptions can be made at venues where people will have shown proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test, he said.People wearing protective masks are seen in Times Square during the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, U.S., March 25, 2021.

On Monday, New York City dwellers were allowed to have a drink sitting at an indoor bar for the first time in months, under loosened state guidelines.
