Businesses Will Close in Nine Zip Codes with COVID Spikes
Mayor Bill de Blasio on Sunday sent a proposal to New York State government to close non-essential businesses, including public and private schools, in nine New York City zip codes where COVID-19 rates have remained over 3% for the past seven days.
The nine zip codes are clustered in Brooklyn and Queens. This plan, effective Oct. 7, includes closing down high-risk activities in 11 additional New York City zip codes of concern, also in the two boroughs.
“New Yorkers have worked hard to fight back COVID-19, and we don’t make this recommendation lightly,” said de Blasio. “But science guides our decision-making in this city – and we go where the facts take us. Once again, it’s time for our city to dig deep and fight this virus the best way we know how: by wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and looking after our seniors and most vulnerable neighbors.”
