The governor Andrew Cuomo said 35,000 coronavirus diagnostic tests will be done per day in New York City in phase one of reopening at over 240 sites across all five boroughs.

The city will also prioritize 15 sites for those who have participated in recent protests over George Floyd's death, and the governor once again encouraged protesters to get tested for free.
