As New York City prepared to reopen after a more than two-month coronavirus shutdown, officials on Sunday lifted a curfew that was put in place amid protests of police brutality and racial injustice. But they also urged that demonstrators be tested for the coronavirus.
“I would act as if you were exposed, and I would tell people you are interacting with, assume I am positive for the virus,” Cuomo added.The call is similar to what officials in Seattle, San Francisco and Atlanta have made following massive demonstrations, with free testing set up for protesters who may have been exposed to the virus.
New York City prepared to enter its first phase of reopening after shutdowns due to the pandemic. Between 200,000 and 400,000 people are expected to head back to the workplace Monday, with many using a subway system that most New Yorkers have avoided since March because of crowded conditions.On Sunday, Mayor Bill de Blasio lifted the city’s 8 p.m. curfew put in place for the Floyd protests.
He maintained, however, that the city was still debating whether to enforce street closures later in the day. He also said he was “frustrated” by the large number of police officers who were not wearing face masks, describing it as painful to people who may perceive law enforcement was “flouting” social-distancing rules.
I think the whole medical field is overrated. We do not need mammograms or colonoscopies. All of these useless medical procedures we lived without for three months. I see a change coming

A bit late now.

Free, are they? Thought not.
Sad to see our youth potentially dieing
Nah we good when we wanted the test we couldn't get them now after protesting you want to hand them out freely sounds like a scam
Oh right, they suddenly remembered about COVID.
How will the citizens pay for it? Form there imagination?
They said no worries the other day.
University academics don't need to be told.
Hard to get tested when the testing sites are closed
That's kinda like asking them to vote in November = Ain't gonna happen.
Why? I thought coronavirus read the room and chose not to affect protestors? That would be so racist if coronavirus!
The very definition of too little too late... but ok.
There were demonstrations in Madrid three weeks ago and no new cases reported.
What a disgusting disservice by the media in the middle of a global pandemic!
