It is difficult to know when the coronavirus will stop impacting New York. Unfortunately, the state can not stay closed down forever. Numbers are gradually going down, but the state is still being impacted by cases and deaths. The first step of reopening in the state is set to begin on May 15.

This will be the guidance that businesses can follow, but it is not an order. Businesses in the state can remain closed and/or teleworking if they feel that is the best way to proceed. It is not known when the virus will truly be gone from any state, but measures have begun taking place to reduce the number of new cases in the state.

Only time will tell when New York will be completely free from the Coronavirus. There are still some differences in the way that people in New York live now. A lot of places are in lockdown, and there is a chance that it will take some time before New York will go back to normal.

Mass transit will still not be used unless it will be necessary for people to go from one place to another. There are a lot of places now wherein people are not allowed to gather around because of the possibility that people will spread the virus further. It may take months or even years before New York will be COVID19 free.

No one knows when New York will be completely free from COVID 19 probably because this is one of the cities that has the most number of confirmed cases. It is true that they have high numbers because more people have been tested, and they have a high population. Yet, there are still other factors that should be considered.

They have a lot of cases because their healthcare may not be as good as compared to other states in the US. The city is not prepared for so many cases of the condition, so some people have to be turned away and are not given the treatment that they need. This has also resulted to higher death rates as compared to other areas.

New York is planning on gradually reopening on May 15th. The phased plan serves as guidance, not an order. States may follow their plans to reopen. There has been conjecture that it will be at least a month before things start to reopen.

They can only begin to open when the infection rates are close to zero. There is far much risk to reopen now because there could be a rebound of people with the coronavirus. When things do resume, modified health measures should continue moving forward.

They will try to open specific types of businesses such as barbershops and salons, and if it goes well, then they will gradually reopen shops and restaurants. Once the infection numbers are down, testing needs to be accelerated to ensure there isn’t another attack.
