Some Bronx residents are promoting masking up again as the New York State Health Department informed locals that cases are supposedly rising in the borough.
The seven-day average for COVID-19 cases has risen from 2.1% on July 21 to 11.8% on Aug. 21, according to a report, and the uptick coincides with children heading back to school and the encroachment of fall weather."We get all kinds of diseases ... they come and they go, and that's just part of life," Peter Cordero, a Bronx local, said."When I get into crowded places, and there's a lot of people, I definitely put on a mask.
"Sometimes I see 50 people on the bus and only one or two people have their masks on, even though we're crammed in there like animals," he said."If it's legal, I'm not gonna stop wearing it," he said.The seven-day average for cases was 672 as of Aug. 14, up from May's 286 reported cases, the New York City Department of Health said.
Free testing kits will be allocated for staff and students returning to New York City schools, the report noted.
