We are from upstate New York and our covid cases have been low. Our New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo put restrictions in place early on and our state has been opening up in phases (currently in the final phase). New York has successfully controlled the outbreak and is not a hot spot so I am unsure why our state is grouped with the hot spot states. In any event, our group of 8 is unable to meet the pre-testing protocol and doesn't feel welcome in Jamaica so we will need to cancel.
