Governor Cuomo Lists 7 Requirements For State To Reopen

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Monday listed seven requirements each of the New York ’s 10 regions must meet before restrictions meant to slow the coronavirus spread could be eased in those areas.

1. 1. A 14-day decline in hospitalizations, or fewer than 15 a day.
   2. A 14-day decline in virus-related hospital deaths, or fewer than five a day.
   3. A steady rate of new hospitalizations below 2 per 100,000 residents a day.
   4. A hospital-bed vacancy rate of at least 30 percent.
   5. An availability rate for intensive care unit beds of at least 30 percent.
   6. At least 30 virus tests per 1,000 residents conducted a month.
   7. At least 30 working contact tracers per 100,000 residents.

Some parts of New York will probably meet the thresholds much sooner than others, the governor said.
