Cuomo said Tuesday he believes the economy will not quickly return to how it was before the pandemic. “I don’t believe that the economy just bounces back,” he said.
“We’ve lost thousands of small businesses that are not going to reopen their doors,” Cuomo said at his briefing, held at the New York Stock Exchange in Manhattan. “So you’re going to see pain in this new economy.”
