Democratic mayor Bill De Blasio of New York has announced that the city will be fully reopening on July 1st. 

In an effort to save New York City's tourism industry, Mayor #DeBlasio plans to fully reopen the city by July 1st. @DanHenninger says this won't be enough – if NYC doesn't get their crime problem under control, Times Square tourism will suffer immensely! #VarneyCo pic.twitter.com/m1Eu29V0QW

This will be the very first time that New York City will fully reopen in over a year. The last time NYC was fully open, it was March of 2020.

Governor Andrew Cuomo on the other hand says that he would like to see the city reopened even sooner.
