City and state officials have been reluctant to enact a total lockdown thus far.
said Sunday the city needs to shut down all non-essential businesses such as restaurants and bars.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has already banned gatherings over 500 people, limited the capacity of restaurants by 50% and called on businesses to consider voluntarily closing—but has stopped short of a full lockdown. Even as districts across the country close down schools, Mayor Bill de Blasio has also been reluctant to do so because it could impact students who depend on the school system for meals and parents who may have to scramble to find childcare.
Both Cuomo and De Blasio said a lockdown and the closure of non-essential businesses is on the table.: “We are in a state of emergency and we must move quickly to mitigate the impact of coronavirus/COVID-19 on our city. All non-essential services must be closed, including bars and restaurants,” Johnson said.: Neither the federal government nor any city and state have implemented a total lockdown similar to the actions taken in Italy, France and Spain. As some U.S.
before government action, health experts say everyone should limit their interaction in public spaces to slow the spread of the coronavirus and prevent a spike in cases that could overwhelm the U.S. health system.
