New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo conducts a news conference on the COVID-19 pandemic at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

, after a meeting with President Trump at the White House on Wednesday, May 27, 2020.New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said mass protests for the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis could threaten the state's progress in containing the spread of the coronavirus.

New coronavirus hospitalizations across the state hit an all-time low since the beginning of the outbreak at a three-day average of 154 on Monday, according to a chart Cuomo presented at a press conference Tuesday. He said 58 people died from coronavirus on Monday, a figure that is also on the decline.

"I know a lot of the protesters are so annoyed they don't want to hear about Covid anymore," Cuomo said. "'Covid is yesterday's news.' No Covid is still a problem. Covid still kills also so be mindful and respectful of that." Two regions in upstate and western New York will be allowed to move into "phase two" of the state's reopening plan beginning Monday and Tuesday, which would allow professional services, real estate, finance and insurance to resume work as well as expanded retail operations under strict safety protocols.

New York City is on track to begin "phase one" reopening on June 8. Construction and manufacturing could resume operations and retailers will be able to reopen for curbside pickup and in-store drop off.

As a longtime investor I remain stunned that markets continue to ignore Covid-19, the murder of black people by the police, & Trump fascism. 🤬🤬🤬 IMO, “forward-looking market” is now just a synonym for “head in the sand.” Covid-19 cases up 96% in TX county I’m in. ETTD

Hopefully it is spread during protests

Stop trying to make pandemic happen. It's not going to happen.

Lol.....that b.s. is done. Testing has shown it's the flu

What’s Covid ?

If the numbers dont go up we’re all good to go.

Hey Cuomo Brothers You Dont Have History And Value !

So do bad leaders.

But he let them protest......

that's one of the huge reasons for this drill. is to keep Coronavirus relevant in the bigger control grid operations. They need to make sure it continues to spread.

grandma is not important anymore and you have killed enough anyway

So does despair regain control of NYC
