Gov. Cuomo threatens to ‘reverse’ reopening in Manhattan, Hamptons amid rampant coronavirus social-distancing violations
|
 | That would be an interesting experiment. I guess he isn't interested in being reelected. |
[New York Daily News] Stir-crazy party animals may ruin the city’s planned reopening for the rest of us.
Areas including Manhattan and the Hamptons where businesses have been widely reported for violating social distancing rules could see their reopening plans “reversed,” Gov. Cuomo threatened Sunday, even as Saturday marked the lowest number of new COVID-19 deaths in the state since the peak of the nightmare in April.
The state has received a whopping 25,000 complaints about establishments that are serving customers and allowing drinking on the streets, he said, noting Manhattan and the Hamptons are “leading areas in the state with violations.”
“I am warning today in a nice way: consequences of your actions,” Cuomo said at an Albany press conference, noting businesses can lose their liquor licenses for breaking social-distancing rules. “We have 25,000 complaints statewide. I’m not going to turn a blind eye to them
Mayor de Blasio has given vague answers when asked about social-distancing violations at bars and restaurants.
Asked about crowds outside establishments in Hell’s Kitchen as protests roiled the city, Hizzoner told a reporter on June 2, "I’m a little confused [about] what you think was happening Saturday night in New York City.
“We will go back to enforcing on bars and restaurants as we were many times, very effectively," he added. "We’ll go back to that.”
Asked for comment on the governor’s admonition, a City Hall spokeswoman suggested the city has things under control.
“We had social distancing ambassadors out all weekend distributing masks and encouraging people to disperse after making their purchases," she said in a statement. "These businesses are allowed to be open per the governor’s guidelines and we don’t believe imprisoning people or taking away their livelihood is the answer.”
