Gov. Andrew Cuomo (NYGovCuomo) extended stay-at-home restrictions through mid-May and New York City is getting ready to use 11,000 empty hotel rooms for coronavirus quarantines
New York planned for a long fight against the coronavirus outbreak amid hopeful hospitalization trends. Gov. Andrew Cuomo extended stay-at-home restrictions Thursday through mid-May and New York City is getting ready to use 11,000 empty hotel rooms for coronavirus quarantines. Meanwhile, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city is grappling with a projected $7.4 billion loss in tax revenue because of the crisis.
New York recorded 606 COVID-19-related deaths Wednesday, the lowest daily number in more than a week.The governor said the requirement for New Yorkers to wear face coverings when people are out and close by other people starting Friday will also help fight the outbreak.
De Blasio said the city will work with community health centers to identify who needs the service and will start moving people into hotel rooms April 22. "If you lead, the Senate will follow. If you are silent, they will not. It's on you, Mr. President," the Democrat said at a news briefing. He said he spoke Wednesday to the Republican president and told him "his hometown needs him."
The city has drawn on reserves, and it's also saving on some programs because of virus-related shutdowns. But the mayor's plan also calls for making a wide variety of trims: everything from delaying an expansion of its free prekindergarten program for 3-year-olds to reducing tree pruning, and from suspending a summer-job program for young people to closing city pools this summer in light of the virus.
