On this week's edition of New York NOW, if a second wave of COVID-19 hits upstate New York, will rural health care networks be ready? We'll speak with State Sen. Patrick Gallivan, the top-ranking Republican on the Senate Health Committee.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo lays out a new plan for reopening the state's economy — this time by region — as a handful of rallies pop up to protest the state's policies. We'll explain.

Amanda Fries from the Albany Times Union joins us with reporting and analysis on COVID-19 testing disparities in areas of upstate New York, where some counties have tested less than 1% of their population for the disease. Plus, the news of the week.

Small businesses continue to struggle in New York, but received a new lifeline from the federal government this week. We'll have the details with Greg Biryla from the Federation of Independent Business, which has some other ideas to help small businesses as well.


Note: Information on COVID-19 is rapidly evolving. Check our blog posts for the latest information after watching the show.
