New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for stronger enforcement of his capacity limits on religious institutions and vowed to shut down any institution found in violation of them.
Cuomo blamed the reopening of schools and large events held at religious institutions for the uptick in coronavirus cases in the state. He pointed to photographs of recent large religious gatherings and said that he will be having law enforcement watch religious centers to ensure their compliance with the 50% capacity limit.
