(Reuters) – New York City will begin phase two of reopening on Monday, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Thursday, citing continued improvements in coronavirus data.
Offices, in-store retail, outdoor dining, hair salons and barbershops are among the businesses allowed to reopen their doors during phase two.
“We’ve seen consistent progress and it is time to say to everyone get ready for phase two,” de Blasio told a daily news conference.
