BUFFALO, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo made his daily update on the state's coronavirus crisis, from Roswell Park Tuesday morning.

There was no announcement as it pertains to Roswell Park.

However, there were a series of other announcements the governor made.

Citing hospitalization numbers locally, Cuomo says he believes Western New York is on the "plateau." He said New York State will help Western New York if needed.

He said that certain hospitals will be allowed to do elective surgeries. But, this will not happen in Erie County. Restrictions on elective surgery will remain in place in Bronx, Queens, Rockland, Nassau, Clinton, Yates, Westchester, Albany, Richmond, Schuyler, Kings, Suffolk, New York, Dutchess, Sullivan, Ulster, Erie, Orange and Rensselaer Counties

Jody Lomeo, President & CEO of Kaleida Health, said in a released statement, “Governor Cuomo is taking a proactive approach and outlining a process to safely open upstate New York. We applaud him for this and look forward to working with his team, Lt. Governor Hochul and the State Department of Health in the coming days and weeks. In particular, we are eager to learn more about the policy regarding safely resuming hospital operations including elective surgeries.”

There has been a lot of discussion locally and nationally about when states and the federal government will reopen their economies.

Cuomo says that Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul will be in charge of reopening Western New York.
