NY Forward
Governor Cuomo has outlined a plan to reopen New York State. Our plan focuses on getting people back to work and easing social isolation without triggering renewed spread of the virus or overwhelming the hospital system. New York will reopen on a regional basis as each region meets the criteria necessary to protect public health as businesses reopen. Please visit the NY Forward site to keep track of the metrics used when various regions around New York prepare to open: https://forward.ny.gov
