Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the initial steps for antibody testing throughout New York Sunday at Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that New York will take on an “aggressive” testing process in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, an integral step in reopening the state’s economy. The governor said participants who are chosen for random testing will be sent to supermarkets in various regions throughout the state. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said testing in Nassau will be conducted at an unidentified site within the county.
The program began Monday with a randomized survey of 3,000 New Yorkers to determine how many people have the coronavirus antibodies in their systems. The test of antibodies shows a person had the disease but has since fully recovered. Cuomo made the announcement on Sunday at Northwell’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset. Prior to the press conference, Cuomo toured Northwell’s Core Laboratories with the company’s President and CEO, Continued on Page 29
Struggling with small business aid BY E M M A J ON ES
businesses left out in the cold when funding dried up for the Business leaders in Nassau Small Business Administration’s and elected officials expressed initial loan program.

companies around the nation qualified for aid and depleted the SBA’s disaster fund. The U.S. Senate approved a $484 billion aid package Tuesday that would replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, designed to help small businesses affected by COVID-19, and provide more funding for hospitals and testing. The measure includes $320 billion in loans to small businesses as well as
$50 billion for the SBA’s disaster relief fund. The loan program, part of the $2 trillion stimulus package enacted March 27 and administered through the SBA, is intended to help businesses maintain payroll and retain employees. Loans are forgivable if used to cover payroll, benefits, rent and mortgage. The initial $359 billion aid package ran out last Thursday, two weeks after its launch. Con-
gressional leaders and the Trump administration were at a stalemate over the next phase of the relief fund before reaching a consensus Tuesday. Many Democrats argued that the initial aid did not reach the businesses that need it the most, including minority-owned businesses and “smaller” small businesses. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer Continued on Page 30
