Cuomo also said at the press conference that one of his daughters was in "precautionary quarantine for 14 days" after coming into contact with someone from a "hot spot."

"That’s everything to me," he said. "That’s why I get up in the morning. How can I protect my daughter."

He added, "I underwent fully the anxiety that people feel...The facts do not justify the fear.”

As for school's closing, he said that is a local issue.

"After weeks of waiting, NYS now has authority from the FDA to conduct #Coronavirus testing at 28 labs across the state. That will increase our testing capacity dramatically — from 3,000 to date to about 6,000/day starting next week," Cuomo tweeted.

He added, "For Broadway theaters in Manhattan, these rules will go into effect at 5pm TODAY. We have already spoken to the theaters about these new measures and they agreed."

"Our top priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of Broadway theatergoers and the thousands of people who work in the theater industry every day, including actors, musicians, stagehands, ushers and many other dedicated professionals," said Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League.

"Broadway has the power to inspire, enrich and entertain, and together we are committed to making that vital spirit a reality. Once our stages are lit again, we will welcome fans back with open arms so that they can continue to experience the joy, heart and goodwill that our shows so passionately express every night."
