New York state’s recovery from the COVID-19 crisis continues as the state hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced the number of new cases. However, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday parts of the state might find themselves moving back on the reopening process instead of forward if behaviors don’t change.

The state can celebrate the recovery, but it should do so cautiously the governor said as statistics from other states that have reopened show significant increases in new patients.
