CAMEROTA: New York State reported the lowest single day death toll in more than two weeks. Intubations and hospitalizations are on the decline for the sixth straight day in this city. Despite that, New York City is taking steps to cancel public events through June. Joining us now is New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Good morning, Mr. Mayor.</s>MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO (D-NEW YORK CITY, NY): Good morning, Alisyn.</s>CAMEROTA: So it sounds like all the data is pointing in the right direction, I mean, in terms of hospitalizations going down, the death toll going down, the intubations going down. And so why cancel big events that people were looking forward to through June, why not just through May?</s>DE BLASIO: Well, Alisyn, we have to be clear, we're dealing with a ferocious enemy in this disease and we've lost well over 10,000 New Yorkers and we've got almost a thousand people right now in ICUs fighting COVID in our own hospital system. There're so many challenges we still face. And I think the bottom line, Alisyn, is we're going to overcome this, there's no question, but we have to do it the smart way. We have to be careful to not allow this disease to reassert itself. END
New York City Mayor Cancels All Public Events Through June.
