Governor of the State of New York, U.S.A.
Eastern New York, where the new coronavirus infection is the most serious in the United States, is due to go out on the 15th of this month. He emphasized his position to respond cautiously as the movement to resume economic activity spreads across the United States, considering that each region will be examined.
In the United States, where the number of infected and dead people is the highest in the world, more than 70% of the 50 states have resumed operations in some industries and are moving towards economic recovery, but eastern New York has been infected. To prevent this, we ask citizens to refrain from going out until the 15th of this month, and we are obliged to work from home except for the industries required to maintain social functions.
Regarding this, Governor Kuomo said at the press conference on the 11th that the number of hospitalized people and those who were hospitalized and died decreased for 14 consecutive days, that there were more than 30% of the beds in hospitals and intensive care units, etc. He applied seven conditions to each of the 10 regions in the state, and indicated a policy to gradually resume economic activity from regions that met all the criteria.
At the present time, it was clarified that three areas far from the urban area do not meet all of these criteria at present, and urban areas including New York City do not apply, and caution should be exercised regarding relaxation of restrictions on going out in New York City. I emphasized the position to respond to.
