“Covid isn’t tired, the virus is still energetic and strong enough to kill you," he said.
New York City’s seven-day average of daily cases is approaching Mayor Bill de Blasio’s warning threshold of 550.
The average was 501 on Sunday, up from 338 a week earlier, according to the latest data provided on the city’s website. The city is seeing rising positive tests in nine ZIP codes of Brooklyn and Queens. Schools there shut Tuesday, and nonessential businesses may be ordered to close Wednesday if Governor Andrew Cuomo approves de Blasio’s proposal.
The two gave conflicting messages on Monday of whether businesses would be shut. Cuomo said he wanted to use a better targeting system than ZIP codes, but “did not present a specific alternative,” de Blasio said. Discussions continue, he said.
“The important thing is to come to a decision quickly,” the mayor said. “We have to get ahead of this.”
