Several religious groups have filed two lawsuits against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in response to a new lockdown order.
The new lockdown rules, dubbed the “New Cluster Action Initiative,” are being enacted in designated COVID-19 hotspots in Brooklyn, Queens, and Broome, Orange, and Rockland Counties, Cuomo’s office announced on Oct. 6. The measure takes effect on Thursday for a minimum of 14 days.
