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.

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. Congressional 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 Continued on Page 30
