When NY’s phased reopening began, the goal was to avoid an uptick.

What is happening now is even better: Our numbers continue to go down.

This is great news. But it’s up to ALL New Yorkers to keep this progress going.

Violations of social distancing and mask-wearing risk lives.

The videos over the weekend from Fire Island, the East Village and elsewhere say it all — there is COVID fatigue.

But the virus doesn’t get tired or lazy and we can’t either.
