LOCKDOWN ROUND 2? Gov. Cuomo warns mass protests could exacerbate COVID-19 spread

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that he stands with the protesters who have been demonstrating against the death of George Floyd, but warned that mass rallies could exacerbate the spread of COVID-19.

"Don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory," the governor said. He noted that New York City has been on track to begin Phase I of reopening on June 8 -- but said the implications of this weekend's rallies on any potential spikes in coronavirus would not be seen for weeks.

"How many super spreaders were in that crowd?" he asked, adding that people who attended in close proximity to others could now be spreading the virus to their families.

The governor said Monday that New York's coronavirus numbers on hospitalizations and intubations continue to trend in a positive direction. The state saw 54 deaths from the virus in the past 24 hours.
