Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that six states will be lifted from New York's travel advisory list. 

California, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, and Ohio have been removed. 

"When other states and territories make progress fighting COVID-19, that's good for New York and while I am glad to see areas removed from the travel advisory list, it still remains far too long," said Cuomo. "Make no mistake, we must continue to be New York tough and stay smart. Wearing masks, social distancing and hand washing is what tamed this beast in New York and we must keep it up."

The Northern Marina Islands have also been removed from the list, while Puerto Rico has been added. 

In addition to Puerto Rico and Guam, 28 states remain on the advisory list as of September 15. 

The Governor has confirmed 766 new cases of coronavirus in New York State Tuesday. The state currently has a one percent infection rate.
