Five of New York's 10 Regions Can Begin to Reopen on Friday
A five-county section of central New York that includes Syracuse has met the criteria necessary to begin reopening some businesses on Friday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Thursday.
Central New York was the fifth upstate region where construction, manufacturing and curbside retail businesses that had been closed amid the coronavirus pandemic were being allowed to start up again, Mr. Cuomo said at his daily briefing. In a subsequent order, he said the limited reopening could proceed as of 12:01 a.m.
The other areas covered by the order are the Finger Lakes, including Rochester; the Southern Tier, which borders Pennsylvania; the Mohawk Valley, west of Albany; and the rural North Country, which includes the Adirondack Mountains.
The rest of the state, including New York City, has not yet achieved the seven health-related benchmarks required by Mr. Cuomo to begin any reopening.
