“Talk about a great irony,” Cuomo said during his daily COVID-19 briefing at the new Tappan Zee Bridge in Westchester. “When this started, people from other states didn’t want New Yorkers coming to their states because of our high COVID rate. Now we’re worried about people from the other states that have a high rate of COVID could be traveling to New York and bringing us the virus.”
