ALBANY – New York will extend until at least April 15 as the state continues to battle the spread of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday.

During his daily briefing, Cuomo said keeping the schools closed is the prudent decision as the number of coronavirus cases continues to increase in New York.

Previously, Cuomo had shuttered schools until April 1. As that date crept closer, schools were left wondering if it would be extended or if they should prepare to return.

Now, that closure will be extended for another two weeks, at which time the state will reassess, he said.

“I believe the schools should remain closed,” Cuomo said Friday at the Javits Center in Manhattan. “I don’t do this joyfully, but I think if you look at where we are and the number of cases increasing, it only makes sense.”

As of Friday morning, New York had more than 44,000 positive cases, an increase of more than 7,000 from the day before and more than half of the nation’s total.
