Gov. Andrew Cuomo also said Wednesday that indoor fitness classes can resume statewide Monday at 33% capacity.

New York has one of the highest rates of new cases per person of any state, and cases and deaths aren’t declining as quickly as in the nation as a whole.

Cuomo on Wednesday became one of the roughly 4.7 million New Yorkers who have gotten at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine.
