In New York, the United States, almost all restrictions have been lifted, such as wearing masks in commercial facilities and keeping distance from neighbors, as vaccination with the new coronavirus is progressing.
Governor Kuomo of New York announced on the 15th that he would lift almost all restrictions, saying that 70% of people over the age of 18 in the state had been vaccinated at least once.
Specifically, restrictions such as wearing masks and keeping distance from neighbors have been lifted at commercial facilities such as retail, eating and drinking, and entertainment.
However, schools and public transportation will continue to require masks.
Governor Cuomo, who held a press conference in a skyscraper in Manhattan, New York, said, "We have achieved an inoculation rate of 70%. This is a national goal, but we achieved it ahead of schedule." He appealed for the resurrection of New York State, which recorded the number of deaths and infections.
In New York, the Empire State Building, major bridges and train stations will be lit up in the state's symbolic gold and blue to celebrate the 15th lift, and fireworks will be launched near the Statue of Liberty. is.
