(Reuters) – New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he planned to “tell the truth” in his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday about the coronavirus crisis and will ask for the federal government for help in ramping up testing.
Cuomo also told a daily briefing that he planned to take a regional approach to reopening businesses and schools in his state, noting that different regions had different levels of infection and impact from the novel coronavirus.
