New York will begin a limited reopening upstate.<\/h2>\n

In the most concrete step toward restarting his battered and shuttered state, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York announced on Monday that several upstate regions would be allowed to partially reopen this weekend, with limited construction, manufacturing and curbside retail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe start a new chapter today in many ways,\u201d Mr. Cuomo said at his daily news briefing, held in Rochester. \u201cIt\u2019s a new phase, if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The move would come 10 weeks after the state\u2019s first confirmed case of coronavirus, which has killed more than 26,000 people in New York, and sickened hundreds of thousands more. But that toll has been largely borne by New York City and its suburbs, with far fewer cases and fatalities thus far in the state\u2019s more rural regions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Cuomo, a third-term Democrat, laid out a detailed plan for reopening last week<\/a>, requiring each of 10 regions to fulfill seven metrics. Those include beefing up testing and contact tracing, ensuring hospital capacity, and showing sustained declines in deaths and new cases of the virus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Monday, the governor said that all seven metrics have now been met in three regions: the Finger Lakes, which includes Rochester; the Southern Tier, which borders Pennsylvania; and Mohawk Valley, west of Albany.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Two other regions \u2014 Central New York and the North Country, in the Adirondack Mountains \u2014 were just shy of hitting those benchmarks. Mr. Cuomo said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Over the weekend, state officials briefed their counterparts in local government about the possibility of reopening, according to a person who was part of those briefings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Cuomo cautioned that the reopening would be gradual, and that it was predicated on the infection rate in those regions remaining low. Officials would \u201cbe able to pull the plug or slow down the increase in activity\u201d if the virus spread more quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The state\u2019s nonessential businesses have been closed and large gatherings have been banned since March 22, under a stay-at-home order issued by Mr. Cuomo that is set to expire on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Cuomo said the state would allow certain low-risk business and activities to resume operating on Friday, including landscaping and gardening work, outdoor recreation such as tennis and drive-in movie theaters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Cuomo said the number of new hospitalizations related to the virus was at its lowest number since March 19, before the state\u2019s shutdown began.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The governor also said on Monday that an additional 161 people in the state had died of the virus \u2014 the lowest daily death toll since March 27, the last time that deaths were reported under 200. Monday\u2019s announcement also marked the biggest one-day drop in those deaths \u2014 down 22 percent from Sunday\u2019s 207.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

N.Y.C. will likely stay shut down until June, the mayor said.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A ban on large gatherings in New York City and the widespread closures of nonessential businesses were not likely to end before June, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cJune is when we\u2019re potentially going to be able to make some real changes if we can continue our progress,\u201d Mr. de Blasio said at his daily news briefing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both city and state data have suggested that the city has made progress in containing the outbreak of the virus and reducing transmission. Mr. de Blasio has said that social distancing and other efforts to limit the outbreak were making a difference, pointing to decreases in the number of those being hospitalized with the virus and the percentage of people testing positive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But Mr. de Blasio said that he and other officials needed to see the trend continue before they could consider reopening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cEnd of May, beginning of June is when we\u2019ll be able to start filling in the blanks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Separately, Mr. Cuomo said that New York City only met four of the seven criteria required to reopen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a glimmer of a return to normalcy, the mayor announced that alternate-side parking, which has been suspended for more than a month amid the pandemic, would return to the city for one week so that workers could clean city streets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Street cleaning will start again next Monday before being suspended on May 25 for at least two weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In an effort to beat back the virus in New York\u2019s hard-hit neighborhoods, Mr. de Blasio said the city would dispatch masks, gloves and medical staff to community health clinics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The measure is one of several that Mr. de Blasio has announced in recent weeks to address how the virus has disproportionately affected black and Hispanic residents in low-income areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In New York City, 38 children have become ill from a virus-linked syndrome.<\/h2>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Sunday that 38 New York City children have been inflicted with a serious new inflammatory syndrome<\/a> that city health officials say appears to be linked to an immune response to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That is more than double the 15 cases the city\u2019s Health Department warned of in an alert<\/a> to city health providers early last week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The illness, known as pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome, introduces a troubling new aspect to the pandemic, which has largely spared children from serious disease. Statewide<\/a>, at least three children have died of the inflammatory condition, including one in New York City, and state officials were investigating 85 potential cases, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of the three children who have died, two were of elementary-school age, and one was an adolescent, said Dr. Howard Zucker, the state health commissioner. They lived in three different counties and were not known to have pre-existing conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Monday, Mr. de Blasio said that health the emergence of the syndrome had not yet changed the city\u2019s plan to reopen schools as scheduled in September, but that officials were continuing to monitor the ailment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAnything we\u2019re going to do about schools is going to be led by health and safety first,\u201d Mr. de Blasio said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In New Jersey, 72 people have died at a home for veterans.<\/h2>\n

\n

The coronavirus has preyed on residents of nursing homes in New Jersey with lethal force, claiming more than 4,850 lives. Deaths at long-term care facilities account for half of the state\u2019s Covid-19 fatalities, well over the national rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But nowhere has the devastation been starker than at the New Jersey Veterans Home at Paramus, a state-run home for former members of the U.S. military.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The home is built on the idea that those who served in the military are entitled to dignified care in their twilight years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead, in what some people have called a betrayal of this fundamental pact, the Paramus home is the site of one of the biggest outbreaks in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The virus has swept through the facility, which in late March had 314 residents, infecting 60 percent of its patients. As of Sunday, 72 deaths there had been linked to the virus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The list of the dead is almost certain to grow: Of the remaining 211 veterans and their spouses, 120 had either tested positive for the virus or were awaiting results. About one in five staff members has contracted the virus, and one employee has died.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe whole place is sick now,\u201d said Mitchell Haber, whose 91-year-old father, Arnold, an Army veteran, died last month at the home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhat they should really do is raze it and put a park there,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a mass shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A florist and a cemetery in Queens, open for one day only.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

John and Denise Owens, whose family has owned O\u2019Loughlin\u2019s Florist in Queens, since 1965, opened their shop for the first time in weeks on Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Throughout a sunny morning and afternoon, they helped customers, who pulled their cars over on the side of the street, pick out crosses and wreaths made of vibrant, silk flowers to lay at loved ones\u2019 headstones in the nearby Calvary Cemetery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The coronavirus outbreak had upended O\u2019Loughlin\u2019s busiest time of the year, the spring weeks between Easter and Mother\u2019s Day. \u201cIt\u2019s been tough, it\u2019s been really tough,\u201d Mr. Owens said. \u201cAs far as being open, this is a one-day deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The florist, in the Woodside section of the borough, has been closed since late March; Calvary Cemetery also closed its gates to visitors then. But the Trustees of St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral decided to open the cemetery, which is under their care, for visitations on Mother\u2019s Day. O\u2019Loughlin\u2019s followed suit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Richard Giglio, 82, had stopped by O\u2019Loughlin\u2019s on his way to the cemetery to purchase a memorial candle to place at the grave of his wife, Maryann Giglio, who died last May. Before the pandemic, he visited the site weekly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know when I\u2019ll be able to come here again,\u201d Mr. Giglio said, holding back tears. At the cemetery, he lit the candle and pulled up fistfuls of long grass at the tombstone\u2019s base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He started to head back to his car but then walked back to the stone, pulling down his surgical mask to kiss and press his hand to his wife\u2019s name inscribed in the stone. He repeated the gesture multiple times, unsure of the next time he would be able to return.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
