Cuomo, who has been working closely with the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut in response to the pandemic, also indicated that he would announce a coordinated regional plan on reopening businesses and schools later on Monday. Cuomo told a briefing that 671 New York residents died on Sunday, down from 758 a day earlier and the lowest daily total since April 5. Cuomo said the reopening would be in incremental steps and that he believed those steps should be informed mainly by public health experts and not politicians. In reopening the economy, Cuomo said the focus would be on “re-calibrating what is essential” and would at first involve more “central” workers. “You’ll start to open that valve on the economic activity, and you’ll turn that valve very slowly,” he said.
