Mayor Bill de Blasio in recent days made sweeping declarations to close schools through April 20, limit restaurant service and halt other forms of entertainment.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that he was considering whether to impose a shelter in place order which would essentially require residents to stay in their homes and keep outside social contact to a minimum to slow the spread of the coronavirus in the nation's largest city."New Yorkers should be prepared right now for the possibility of a shelter-in-place order," de Blasio."The decision will be made in the next 48 hours.
De Blasio acknowledged that New Yorkers face “tremendously substantial challenges” if this order is imposed. “In that scenario, a shelter-in-place begs a lot of questions," the mayor said."What is going to happen with folks who have no money?”
