New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is giving an update Monday on the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and protests over police violence and racial injustice. On Sunday, Cuomo warned restaurant and bar owners after reports came in from across the state of large gatherings where people were ignoring social distancing and not wearing masks.
“We have gotten 25,000 complaints, to the state, of businesses that are in violation of the reopening plan,” said Cuomo. “We have never received more complaints in a shorter period of time.”
