 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state's progress during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"The hospitalization and infection rates in New York are declining every day, and New York is now in the middle of a long-awaited reopening," Governor Cuomo said. "As we continue re-opening the valves on our economy and increasing the numbers of shots in arms, we have never been closer to winning this war, but we must remain vigilant. New Yorkers know the practices that will keep themselves and each other safe - washing hands, social distancing and masking up. The decline in numbers is in large part a result of our collective actions and together we will work toward seeing the light at the end of the tunnel."
