U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) will help pay for COVID-related funeral and burial costs incurred by low-income families.
It will include 100 days of 300 free pop-up performances across the state.
NY PopsUp hopes to help revive the arts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are free, not designed to be pre-scheduled and draw a crowd, because we actually don t want the crowd, Cuomo said.
However, everyone will get a chance to see the performances, as the events will then be shown online. Cities have taken a real blow during COVID, and the economy will not come back fast enough on its own - we must bring it back, Cuomo said. Creative synergies are vital for cities to survive, and our arts and cultural industries have been shut down all across the country, taking a terrible toll on workers and the economy. We want to be aggressive with reopening the State and getting our economy back on track, and NY PopsUp will be an important bridge to the broader reopening of our world-class performance venues and institutions. New York has been a leader throughout this entire pandemic, and we will lead once again

New York COVID-19 Test Sites
Operations at the following state-run COVID-19 testing sites will be suspended on February 7 due to the impending winter storm:
Glen Island in New Rochelle;
Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens;
But it s not a big enough boost to supply. Now you have 7 million people they are eligible for the vaccine but the vaccine is scarce, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
It s simple math. In New York, 7 million people are eligible now including health care workers, essential front linw workers and people over the age of 65.
Currently, New York State is only getting about 290,000 first doses a week. You re still talking about multiple weeks before you can cover the existing eligible population, Cuomo said.
Right now, if you get the first dose, you re guaranteed a second dose that is kept in reserve.
