Scarred by the deadliest coronavirus outbreak in the nation, New York City gradually began reopening Monday
NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo takes the subway as New York City begins reopening
"So far, so good," construction management company owner Frank Sciame said as job sites started humming again, with new precautions such as health screening questionnaires and lower limits on the number of workers allowed in construction hoists. "Let's hope it continues." Unrest over racism and police brutality could compound the challenges facing the nation's biggest city as it tries to move past three bleak months. Officials who had focused for months on public health and economic woes are now also facing urgent pressure for police reform.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo took a subway ride to mark the moment and send a message that it's safe: "If they're using the sanitizer, they're using the masks, it will be OK."
