Well, school districts have plans to do testing and cohorting. Are the colleges the same as K-12? No, but there are certain factors that are the same and the congregate nature poses challenges. We are seeing problems in colleges all across this nation and all across the state. The virus travels in congregate settings by definition. Schools are congregate situations by definition. When do we get it? Is it safe? What’s the efficacy? How do we administer it? Flu season is coming, what does that mean? First on schools, we have to be very careful about schools. So what’s next? We’re entering the fall and the fall is going to bring a new set of challenges.Īnd we have to be aware of it and we have to then adapt our management and our priorities to the new realities. And if the person next door to you gets infected, you may very well get infected. And COVID says rugged individualism is great, but you’re still part of a community and part of a collective. And we won’t be out of this until we are all out of this. So we have to remain vigilant and there are still challenges ahead. And you’re seeing the numbers all across the country and all across the world going up, Spain, Israel. People still come to this state from other countries. People still come to this state from other states. Yes, but it’s not that simple, right? We are affected and affected can mean infected. Well, we should be hermetically sealed from the rest of the nation. Look at Wisconsin, look at Oklahoma, look at South Dakota, look at Utah, look at the country overall. Those are numbers, right? We are the anomaly to what’s going on across the country. And you’re seeing spikes all across the country and you’re seeing spikes all across the world. To an extent, we are a function of what happens in the other states and the other countries. What happens in New York is a function of two main dynamics. Overall statewide, the number was about 1% yesterday. But there’s been some ticks, but overall we are still okay. The five day results you see, we’re watching Western New York. What New Yorkers did is extraordinary and they saved thousands of lives. Even at this crazy time of hyper partisanship and rhetoric. ![]() And you see what’s going on around the country, right? Numbers are still numbers. You remember what those death numbers were, literally in the hundreds for days. They are in our thoughts and prayers, but again, God bless the people of the state of New York for what they accomplished here. The numbers for today, 500 hospitalizations, which is up about 10.

"It's a gift to the restaurants, to lovers, to everybody.… right, Melissa DeRosa the Secretary to the Governor. We gotta show some love," Migliucci-Delfino said. Regina Migliucci-Delfino, the owner of Mario's restaurant in the Bronx, said before Cuomo's announcement that she would have preferred to match the suburbs, but she's fine with the plan. However, restaurants are broken hearted that they need to wait two weeks until Valentine's Day to open at only 25% occupancy in the city, while permitting 50% occupancy in dining rooms around the rest of the state where infections and hospitalization rates from COVID-19 are higher," Executive Director Andrew Rigie said in a statement. "It's good news that Governor Cuomo heard the voice of New York City's struggling restaurant industry and is lifting the ban on indoor dining, similar to other major cities that reopened in recent weeks. The New York City Hospitality Alliance said Friday's announcement was another example the "state's standards are being applied inequitably in the five boroughs without a transparent and data-driven system."
