Cuomo spokesman Richard Azzopardi said:

"There are some things that don't fit neatly into a phase that are going to require further study and we're going through that right now...We're not going to be like other states that are inviting a second wave."

Long Island and New York City have been the last of New York's regions to reopen, with upstate several weeks ahead.

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said, "We're facing a fiscal crisis, and malls are more than just a big job-provider for our residents. They're also a critical source of sales and property tax revenue for Nassau County... Our malls are ready to put protocols in place to keep both employees and shoppers safe, and I will continue to advocate for their reopening."

Cuomo said: "They could literally bring the infection with them. It wouldn't be malicious or malevolent, but it would still be real,"
