Cuomo rolls out plan to conduct antibody tests Announces at Feinstein Institutes BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z

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. “Antibody testing means you test the person to find out if they have the antibodies if they were infected with the coronavirus,” Cuomo said Sunday. “We are going to do that in the Continued on Page 30

ate this week would help small businesses left out in the cold when funding dried up for the Small Business Administration’s initial loan program. A number of small businesses in the county failed to obtain
loans as larger publicly traded 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. 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 businesses that need it the most, Continued on Page 30
