New York schools will only reopen in September if coronavirus levels remain low and stable, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday.
While Mayor Bill de Blasio declared last week that the nation’s largest school system would come back to life in September, Cuomo warned that a spike in infections would halt that effort.
“If you have the virus under control, reopen,” he said. “If you don’t have the virus under control, then you can’t reopen.”
If the infection rate in a given region is under 5 percent for 14 days, schools in that area can unlock the doors, Cuomo said.
But if it spikes to over 9 percent over seven days, schools will be shuttered.
