“We’ve gotten past the post-holiday spike and thanks to the hard work of New Yorkers, our infection rate continues to decline. In fact, if this current trajectory holds, we can open up indoor dining in New York City by Valentine‘s Day, but actually getting to that point will be a consequence of our actions,” Cuomo said. “We must continue taking steps to reopen our economy, but we have to do it smartly and safely.”
Cuomo also said that as of Saturday morning, state vaccination distribution sites had received 1,471,145 first doses and administered 91 percent or 1,343,729 first dose vaccinations and 76 percent of first and second doses.
