(Reuters) - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday outlined a phased reopening of business activity in the state hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, starting with select industries like construction and the least affected regions.

Cuomo did not give a timeline, but the state's stay-at-home order is due to expire on May 15 and the governor has said before that the areas with fewer infections could consider reopening after that date.
