Over a year after the initial COVID outbreak shut down schools, businesses, eateries and everything else that makes the Big Apple great, Mayor de Blasio announced Thursday the city would “fully reopen” on July 1.
“We can see that light at the end of the tunnel,” he said at a press conference. “This is going to be the summer of New York City.”
The mayor envisioned everything from offices and schools to businesses and theaters operating at full capacity, saying, “people are going to flock here from all over the country to be part of this amazing moment in New York City.”
