New York City will enter phase three of reopening without indoor dining Monday, Cuomo said.
"New York City is a crowded, dense urban area and -- until recently -- was the global epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis," Cuomo said. "Out of an abundance of caution and after seeing other states' experiences with indoor dining, we will wait to reopen it as the city moves to Phase Three tomorrow. As we end this holiday weekend, I urge everyone to be New York Tough: wear a mask, socially distance, use hand sanitizer and continue the smart practices that have made our state a national leader in combatting this virus. I also remind local governments of their duty to enforce the standards that have made NY's reopening safe and successful."
