New York's mayor suggests telecommuting, staggered work schedules and skipping crowded subway cars in an effort to cut down on crowds amid the coronavirus outbreak.
New York Mayor Bill De Blasio said Sunday that people should work from home, if possible, or stagger work schedules in an effort to cut down on crowds amid the coronavirus outbreak.
“We need everyone to do their part in reducing overcrowding,” he said. “I know that sounds impossible in New York City, but consider some basic steps like telecommuting if your job allows it. Stagger work schedules so people can arrive later or leave earlier to beat the busiest times of rush hour. Plan to have some extra travel time in your commute. If the train that pulls up is too packed, move to a different car or wait to take the next one. Bike or walk to work if you can.
