New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday that reopening the state will be harder than locking it down, warning of a COVID-19 rebound if restrictions are lifted too fast or outside of a smart process.

In a tweet on Monday, Cuomo said, “Reopening our state is far more complicated than shutting down was. If you open too quickly you can immediately have a backlash.”
