New York, Sep 3 (AP) Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he won't let New York City reopen its restaurants for indoor dining until the city has a plan to monitor and ensure they're following regulations for coronavirus prevention.

The governor says he thinks restaurants should open in New York City, but the state doesn't have enough personnel to monitor the city's 27,000-plus eateries.
