New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has extended New York’s coronavirus lockdown by two weeks until May 15.
Cuomo said on Thursday that while the rate of hospitalizations in New York is decreasing, it was still unclear how many people have actually been infected with COVID-19.
He said the unknown tally of infections is what is stopping him from reopening the economy because if people who don’t know they are infected return to work, they risk infecting countless others and wiping out all the progress that has been made.
The New York lockdown will be extended in coordination with other states in the region, Cuomo said, adding that non-essential workers must remain home and social distancing rules remain in place.
