Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo also said Mayor Bill de Blasio lacked the authority to close New York City’s schools for the rest of the academic year.

Governor Cuomo urged caution in the rush to reopen New York’s economy.
Weeks after ordering a shutdown across the state, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Saturday said the efforts were beginning to pay off and the curve of new coronavirus cases was continuing to flatten.

But, as the focus began to turn to reopening the state and New York City, Mr. Cuomo emphasized that it would be premature to look too far ahead.

“Reopening is both an economic question and a public health question,” he said. “And I’m unwilling to divorce the two. You can’t ask the people of this state or this country to choose between lives lost and dollars gained.”

A rushed decision, he said, could lead to a resurgence of the outbreak.

“We don’t know if there’s going to be a second wave or not,” he said, urging caution in the rush to get the economy back off the ground.

Mr. Cuomo also pushed back on an announcement made by Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City just hours earlier about the city’s schools being closed for the rest of the academic year. “There has been no decision” regarding the closure of the schools, Mr. Cuomo said.

“It makes no sense for one locality to take an action that’s not coordinated with the others,” he added, referring to other school districts. Mr. Cuomo added of the mayor: “He didn’t close them and he can’t open them.”

Other updates from Mr. Cuomo’s briefing:

The state death toll rose to 8,627, up from 7,844 the day before.

Hospitalizations, including the three-day average of new virus patients being admitted to hospitals, were down, as were intubations — considered a sign of the severity of the health crisis.

Potential hot spots on Long Island and in upstate New York appeared to be under control. “We’ve had hot spots, but we attacked them aggressively and we believe that we have stabilized the situation upstate,” the governor said.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the state increased to 180,458, from 170,812. There were 18,654 patients in hospitals, up from 18,569 on Friday, and there were 5,009 patients in intensive care, up from 4,908.

New York City says schools are closed for the academic year.
New York City’s public schools will remain closed through the end of the academic year, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Saturday, confirming that more than three months of regular schooling for 1.1 million children would be lost because of the coronavirus.

“There’s nothing easy about this decision,” Mr. de Blasio said during a news briefing on Saturday morning. “Lord knows, having to tell you that we cannot bring our schools back for the remainder of the school year is painful. I can also tell you is the right thing to do. It will clearly help us save lives.”

But soon after the mayor ended his news conference, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo at his own news briefing said there had been “no decision” on closing schools in the state or city. He described the mayor’s announcement as Mr. de Blasio’s “opinion.”

Mr. Cuomo said the decision to reopen New York schools was his, but Mr. de Blasio countered that during a television appearance Saturday night.

“I run the school system,” along with the schools chancellor, Richard A. Carranza, the mayor said, citing mayoral control of city schools. “We are the people charged with protecting our kids, our families,” he said, adding, “This is what we’re going to do.”

Mr. de Blasio said he would work with the governor, but said he did not have a responsibility “to another elected official. My responsibility is to those kids.”

The governor and mayor have been political rivals for years. New York City typically makes its own decisions about closures, including snow days

The decision to extend the closure added to an enormous challenge for roughly 1,800 schools across the city’s five boroughs, which have scrambled to adjust to remote learning since they were initially closed on March 16.

“Our educators were asked to learn an entirely new way of teaching,” Mr. de Blasio said on Saturday, sitting alongside Mr. Carranza. “They had a week to quickly retool.”

Though New York City is the epicenter of the nation’s coronavirus outbreak, more than a dozen states, including California and Pennsylvania, have already announced that their public schools will remain closed through the end of the academic year.

The virus has ravaged nursing homes across the region.
At Crown Heights Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Brooklyn, workers said they had to convert a room into a makeshift morgue after more than 15 residents died of the coronavirus, and funeral homes could not handle all the bodies.

At Elizabeth Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in New Jersey, 19 deaths have been linked to the virus; of the 54 residents who remain, 44 are sick.

The coronavirus has snatched lives in every part of society, but has perhaps been cruelest at nursing homes and other facilities for older people, where a combination of factors — an aging or frail population, chronic understaffing, shortages of protective gear and constant physical contact between workers and residents — has hastened its spread.
