New York's stay-at-home order extended through May 15
Cuomo said Thursday that virus transmission rates still need to be tamed as he prolonged rules that have left many New Yorkers working from home and unable to gather in public since March 22. The governor said the extension was made in consultation with other Northeast states and will be re-evaluated next month.
"Considering all the challenges other people have, this is nothing. So I can deal with it," Fila said."Other people have to go to work or have lost their jobs. I feel for them."After initially lining up hotels to become temporary hospitals, the city is now planning to use the rooms as quarantine sites for some people in crowded apartments, for some homeless shelter residents and for health care workers who don't want to risk infecting family members, de Blasio said.
De Blasio said the city will work with community health centers to identify who needs the service and will start moving people into hotel rooms April 22. The city so far has spent over $700 million to handle the virus outbreak and expects to spend a total of $3.5 billion by the end of December, according to a news release from the mayor's office.
