Periodically we post the nightly email from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Tonight's email is especially interesting. It lays out a few guidelines for the re-opening of New York after 400 days of being the hardest hit state in the country with COVID-19. New low stats. New "Vax & Scratch" program. Pop up vaccination sites at major NY airports. Summer festival mask guidance.
While the vaccine distribution gets underway, New Yorkers cannot get lax about COVID by any means. Hospitalizations continue to rise across the state and there is one message New Yorkers must remember as we approach the close of the holiday season—celebrating smart stops shutdowns. If we stay smart, stay tough and take the steps we know help halt the spread, we will get through this.
In the past we have posted the coronavirus update from Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York. Each evening the Governor sends out an email detailing the current situation in New York State. In tonight's email the governor is allowing ice cream and liquor now to be manufactured in NY State to help out the dairy farmers. On the flip side 100s of liquor licenses have been suspended of bars not keeping social distancing rules.
