As the city meets the requirements to start re-opening, people from our area will be going back to work, probably using mass transit once again, which in many cases have seen ridership drop off 95 percent. In his daily coronavirus press briefing yesterday, New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo said the buses and trains need to be able to safely handle the masses once again…
Cuomo brought with him high-powered New York-based Hollywood support, actress Rosie Perez and comedian Chris Rock, who yesterday said he got tested for COVID-19…

In Rockland, the state says we’ve got 13,076 reported cases, and the Rockland Health Department confirms 629 fatalities here in the county.
