Summary
New York City is barring its famous summer street celebrations for the month of June, and the state is exploring new ways to expand coronavirus testing. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers would need to be tested for the coronavirus daily before city officials could start to loosen restrictions that have shuttered most workplaces and forced residents to cover their faces in public, de Blasio said Monday. But he said New York can’t start reopening its economy without widespread testing “and so far the federal government still can’t get the handle on that.” Cuomo said the state is starting a partnership with Ready Responders to bring testing and other health care services to an unspecified number of New York City public housing residents. Still, de Blasio stressed: “We need more surgical gowns in New York City, and we need them now.”
