After nearly a year of fluctuating restrictions, New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his plans to expand rapid testing in an effort to reopen restaurants. In a press conference this Tuesday, the governor declared his intention to breathe life back into his state, <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/01/12/gov-cuomo-to-expand-rapid-covid-tests-in-bid-to-reopen-eateries/">proclaiming</a>, “New York will be New York again.” Then, just a day later, restaurants in designated “orange” COVID zones were <a href="https://www.syracuse.com/coronavirus/2021/01/all-ny-restaurants-in-orange-zones-can-reopen-for-indoor-dining-cuomo-aide-says.html">permitted</a> to resume indoor dining. 
While this is no doubt encouraging news for restauranteurs, Cuomo’s sudden interest in their industry’s vitality is too little, too late. As we close in on nearly a year of lockdown, the governor’s change of heart will do nothing to recuperate months of losses, nor will it resuscitate the ever-growing <a href="https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/features/nyc-restaurant-closings">list</a> of businesses who closed their doors permanently as a result of despotic restrictions. Tragically, New York is just one example of what is happening to the restaurant industry around the country, and around the world.
