Another New York region has entered Phase II Tuesday, as the state slowly remains on track to reopening while continuing its fight against coronavirus.
The Western New York region has officially kicked off Phase II, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced during his daily coronavirus briefing.
Meanwhile, the Capital region is expected to move to Phase II Wednesday.
The loosening of some restrictions imposed on nonessential businesses by governors in the tri-state state to slow the coronavirus outbreak’s spread have taken effect as deaths and hospitalizations continue to decline.
On Tuesday, Cuomo announced that the number of new COVID-19 hospitalizations is at an all time low (at 154) since the start of the pandemic.
