NEW YORK (AP) — New York City has been cleared to take the next step in reopening next week. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the city can begin a limited version of the fourth phase of the statewide reopening process starting Monday. The city’s version would allow movie and TV crews to film, zoos to welcome reduced crowds, and professional sports teams play to empty seats. Visitors are set to return to the island that houses the Statue of Liberty — but not the statue itself. And malls, museums and restaurant dining rooms would stay shuttered in the nation’s biggest city.
NYC has been cleared to enter Phase 4 of reopening, starting Monday, July 20.
Phase 4 will not include indoor activity in malls, restaurants or cultural institutions at this point.
I'm so proud of what New Yorkers have done. But we must continue to be on alert.
