New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that New York City’s bars and restaurants may shutter again this fall when dropping temperatures force the closure of patios and outdoor dining arrangements, with a high number of COVID-19 violations in the city reducing the likelihood of a resumption of indoor dining, according to reports.
Cuomo told reporters on a briefing call that there was far more flouting of restrictions meant to curb the spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus in New York City than in other parts of the state which have moved into the final phase of reopening.
