BUFFALO, N.Y. — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday that the state will decide within a week whether the Erie County Fair can proceed, and under what circumstances it might do so.
On Tuesday, Fair officials produced a consultants report, which concluded that the fair could be held safely without causing a rise in COVID-19 cases even at full capacity, by the time it is scheduled to occur begging August 11.
