Core factors will determine when a region can reopen:

Monitoring Diagnostic Contact

Healthcare
New Testing Tracing
Capacity
Infections Capacity Capacity
 Metrics Monitoring New Infections

Based on guidelines from the CDC

• Regions must have at least 14 days of
1 decline in total hospitalizations AND deaths
on a 3-day rolling average
• In regions with few COVID cases, cannot
2 exceed 15 new total cases or 5 new deaths
on a 3-day rolling average
 Metrics Monitoring New Infections

In order to monitor the potential spread of

infection in a region:
• A region must have fewer than two
3 new COVID patients admitted per
100k residents per day
 Metrics Healthcare Capacity

We must make sure every region has capacity

to handle a potential surge in cases:
• Regions must have at least 30% total
4 hospital AND ICU beds available
• This is coupled with the new
5 requirement that hospitals have at
least 90 days of PPE stockpiled
Metrics Diagnostic Testing Capacity

We have brought diagnostic

testing to scale
1 million New Yorkers have
now been tested.
 Metrics Diagnostic Testing Capacity

Following recommendation from Dr. Birx:

• 30 tests for every 1,000 residents
6 per month

 NYS Sample Collection Kits

has made nearly 300,000

testing kits to collect samples.

Today, we are sending 60,000 kits

to labs & hospitals across NYS.
 Metrics Contact Tracing Capacity
• Regions must have a baseline of 30 contact
7 tracers for every 100,000 residents, and
additional tracers based on the projected
number of cases in the region
• We are building an army of tracers, in
partnership with Mayor Bloomberg, to meet
statewide needs
If new cases are under control
and Rt range is below 1:
commence reopening in phases
while monitoring Rt rate and
health system capacity.
