On Tuesday, April 14, 2020, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave his daily press briefing amidst the coronavirus crisis currently devastating the state.
New York and other East Coast states are extending their shutdown of nonessential businesses to May 15 as officials grapple with how to reopen parts of the economy without leading to a resurgence in coronavirus cases, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday.
Cuomo announced the news at a press conference in Albany and via Twitter, saying "New York on PAUSE" will be extended in coordination with other states. "We have to continue doing what we're doing. I'd like to see that infection rate get down even more. The New York Pause policies, the close-down policies, will be extended in coordination with other states to May 15," Cuomo said. The lockdown was previously scheduled to lift on April 30.
"So, one month, we'll continue the close-down policies. What happens after then? I don't know. We will see what the data shows," Cuomo said. "I don't want to project beyond that period." He reiterated his plans to work with other Northeastern governors on a coordinated plan to gradually reopen commerce in the region.
