New York coronavirus: NYC exits lockdown but enters a new crisis
After 78 days of coronavirus stay-at-home orders and a death toll larger than all but six countries, New York City begins to reopen Monday.
Now, New York and cities across the country must reckon with a combination of coronavirus, vast unemployment and systemic racism -- a toxic trifecta that most deeply hurts black communities.
Once the epicenter of the pandemic as the largest and densest city in the US, New York City enters phase one of its reopening plan Monday, allowing nonessential workers in construction and manufacturing to go back to work and retail stores to set up curbside or in-store pickup.
Still, hair salons, offices and indoor seating at bars and restaurants remain off-limits until the next reopening phase. And Broadway shows, museums and large cultural gatherings are still far off.
