People are seen at the Statue of Liberty as New York enters Phase 4 of reopening following the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in New York City, on Jul 20, 2020. REUTERS: New York state reported the fewest hospitalisations from the coronavirus in four months on Monday just as New York City entered a new phase of reopening, but the progress was eclipsed by the rapid spread of COVID-19 elsewhere in the United States.
Elsewhere, nearly every metric for the country as a whole was growing worse including a rising number of cases, deaths, hospitalisations and rates of positive test results. The virus has killed 140,000 Americans and infected some 3.7 million, both figures leading the world. Meanwhile, the administration of US President Donald Trump is pushing for schools to reopen in a few weeks and resisting a federal mandate that people wear masks in public, part of what Cuomo called an"incompetent" federal government response."I've said to the president from Day One: This virus does not respond to politics," Cuomo told a news conference."The solution is medicine and science.
"This administration really fights to protect our freedoms but we want people to know freedom comes with responsibility," Adams told Fox News."And part of that responsibility means wearing a face covering when you go out, washing your hands, trying to watch your distance around other people."
