Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Citing the declining rate of COVID-19 in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is lifting some restrictions in nearly all orange and yellow micro-cluster zones. He is also developing a plan to allow limited indoor dining in New York City. The micro-cluster hot zones were developed by Cuomo and his aides last fall, as an attempt to contain the further spread of the coronavirus. But in recent months, businesses in areas designated as yellow or orange zones complained that they had to endure more restrictions than other areas where the positivity rate for the virus was even higher.
