“#Changes to NY COVID-19 restrictions may come this week<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Changes to the restrictions on New York\u2019s coronavirus clusters could be announced later this week as the surge in cases continues to recede, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to watch the micro-cluster data,\u201d Cuomo told reporters in his Midtown Manhattan office. \u201cWe can adjust what is in that cluster. We can make it a little bigger. We can make it a little smaller. We can relax some regulations. We can increase regulations. We\u2019ll do that all based on the data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo said that any such alterations would be announced Wednesday, just over two weeks after he announced a color-coded system of restrictions \u2014 including closures of schools and non-essential businesses \u2014 <\/span>to tamp down burgeoning outbreaks in Brooklyn and Queens, as well as pockets upstate.<\/p>\n

The latest data from those zones shows that that effort app<\/a>ears to be working.<\/p>\n

In the week of Sept. 27 through Oct. 3, the coronavirus positive rate in Brooklyn\u2019s so-called \u201cred zone\u201d was 6.69 percent.<\/p>\n

By Saturday, that figure had dropped to 4.92 percent.<\/p>\n

Queens \u2014 which has two distinct outbreak zones \u2014 also saw a decline, from a 2.97-percent positivity rate during the earlier period to 1.89 percent on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Brooklyn and Queens zones, however, still have markedly higher positivity rates than the overall state figure of 1.08 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we\u2019re so aggressive, every time we see the virus pop up we run and hit it down,\u201d said Cuomo. \u201cIt\u2019s like whack-a-mole.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision earlier this month to reinstate coronavirus restrictions was met with fierce and sometimes violent protests, particularly in Brooklyn\u2019s Hasidic enclaves, where some viewed the lockdowns as anti-Semitic.<\/p>\n

But Cuomo insisted on Sunday that the return of restrictions was the way to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not rocket science<\/a>,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a virus. When you reduce congregate activity, and people wear masks, and people social<\/a>-distance and you enforce it, you stop the spread of the virus. That\u2019s how it works. That\u2019s how it\u2019s always worked. You just have to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the governor unveiled a plan to transition from the pandemic to the powder with winter on the way.<\/p>\n

Starting Nov. 6, the state\u2019s ski resorts will be allowed to reopen at 50-percent capacity, he said.<\/p>\n

Other precautions will also be in place, including: A requirement to wear masks at all times except when eating, drinking or skiing; restrictions on gondola and lift usage to one party at a time; thorough cleanings and disinfections of all shared or rented equipment; and a potential reduction of capacity on the slopes to 25 percent on peak days or if there are trail closures.<\/p>\n

Cuomo tried to entice out-of-state skiers to pump money into New York\u2019s sagging economy by saying other perks make up for the restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ski New York this year, not only do you have what I think is the best skiing in the United States of America \u2026 but there\u2019s an added benefit,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you ski in New York, not only do you have the best skiing in the United States, but you don\u2019t have to quarantine when you come back.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo ski in one of these other states, then you have to quarantine for 14 days.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
