Phase Two is not happening on Friday. Friday marks 15 days since the launch of Phase One. The governor previously said the state would start each phase after 14 days, which is also the amount of time the coronavirus infections would take to show up. According to local officials overseeing the reopening of the Finger Lakes region, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Phase Two could start on Saturday after international health experts examine the data. Monroe County has seen an uptick in the number of cases recently, but health officials say it's explainable and that the county still meets the metrics to reopen.
