The number of coronavirus cases keeps climbing with New York State now at nearly 84 thousand with more than half of those in New York City. There are more than 19-hundred coronavirus deaths in the state as of Wednesday. Governor Andrew Cuomo is now closing down all New York City playgrounds.
“I warned people that if if they didn’t stop the density and the games in the playgrounds. You can’t play basketball. Uh You can’t come in contact with each other.”
But he is leaving open space available in the parks for folks to walk around. He says there are still too many young people not following social distancing rules.
“What else do you have to know, what else do you have to hear. Who else has to die for you to understand you have a responsibility in this.”
Meanwhile, Cuomo says the latest model shows the number of coronavirus cases will peak at the end of April. He says when that happens, there is still no telling on when things will get back to normal.
