New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday suggested that the state should consider slowing down the Big Apple's reopening, placing him once again at odds with embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Earlier this March, Cuomo issued a directive allowing for New York City indoor dining capacity to be expanded to 50 percent.
"It's time to reassess for sure. A good example is with indoor dining," de Blasio said during a press conference.
De Blasio cited a surge in coronavirus variants in New York City as his cause for additional caution.
"One of the reasons we see the very high plateau, or very slow decline here in New York, is due to these variants," Dr. Jay Varma, de Blasio's senior public health advisor, said Monday.
De Blasio's remark followed New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy's announcement that he plans to lift coronavirus restrictions slower than previously planned.
As of Sunday, New Jersey's seven-day average of fresh cases stands at 3,329, which is an increase of 8 percent from a week ago and 29 percent from roughly 30 days ago.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
