The Wall Street Journal: New
York To Ease Some Covid-19 Restrictions As Cases Decline
New York will start relaxing economic restrictions that were imposed after
Thanksgiving to respond to an increase in novel coronavirus cases, Gov. Andrew
Cuomo said Monday. The Democratic governor said in Buffalo that the state would
allow elective surgeries to resume in Erie County, where they were halted on
Dec. 4. He also said the state Health Department would review other
restrictions that cover parts of New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse
and New Rochelle. During the fall, the state imposed localized restrictions
based on infection rates, but Mr. Cuomo abandoned the approach in favor of a
metric that looked at hospital capacity. (Vielkind and De Avila, 1/25)
