Cuomo had initially implemented the closures at the end of
March and later extended them until April 15. The moves are meant to help slow
the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the state.
There is at least some evidence that the measures are
working, Cuomo said during a press briefing in Albany. New deaths in the state
have been flattening in the last few days and new hospitalizations have been
declining since last week.
