Get caught up with everything that happened today in the fight against Coronavirus.

The all-out battle against the novel coronavirus has resulted in many people delaying needed vaccinations for their children. Allen Martin reports. (5-28-20)

Long Island became the state’s latest region to start its reopening process Wednesday, leaving New York City alone on PAUSE. Meanwhile, Gov. Andrew Cuomo met with the president in Washington to talk infrastructure, as America’s death toll eclipsed a grim 100,000 milestone. Cuomo’s meeting with President Donald Trump came a day after the governor said it was time to turn the page on New York’s battle with coronavirus, shifting focus to helping New York City reach the initial reopening phase and “supercharging” the regional reopenings already in progress. By “supercharge,” Cuomo wants to accelerate long-overdue infrastructure programs like rebuilding Penn Station and expanding cross-river transit tunnels while ridership is still low. Asked about his Wednesday meeting with Trump, Cuomo said the two had a productive discussion on certain projects, despite their “political differences.” He didn’t offer a potential timeline for federal investment, saying Trump pledged to get back to him in the next week or so. A day before the meeting, Cuomo said, “it’s just common sense” to invigorate infrastructure development at this point in the crisis — and he doubled down on that point Wednesday.

New York’s Mid-Hudson region has been cleared to reopen Tuesday, more than two months after a lawyer from New Rochelle spawned the state’s first virus cluster, one that would spread to Manhattan and New Jersey and prompt Gov. Andrew Cuomo to deploy the National Guard — the first containment move in what would be a series of shutdown orders over the next few weeks. Long Island will enter Phase I Wednesday, Cuomo said, as he announced New York’s lowest daily virus death toll (73) since the pandemic hit the Empire State. Now it’s time to fully turn the page in the battle against the coronavirus, the governor said. He shifted his focus as of Memorial Day to a two-track plan — one track is to monitor regional reopenings. The other is to “supercharge” the reopenings, accelerating long-overdue infrastructure programs like rebuilding Penn Station while ridership is low and kickstarting the LaGuardia AirTrain project. Cuomo said he would meet with President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., Wednesday to discuss how the U.S. government can help expedite these efforts. “You have an infrastructure that’s crumbling, you need to jumpstart the economy, you need to create jobs, do it now,” Cuomo said. “It’s just common sense.” At the same time, he is zeroing his focus on New York City, which will be the state’s only region still on PAUSE by Wednesday. Cuomo plans to target resources to the city’s highest-impact ZIP codes, which are the prime sources of new infections and hospitalizations, state [More]
