Cuomo Shuts Schools In NYC Coronavirus Hot Spots

Governor Andrew Cuomo is ordering schools shut starting tomorrow in New York City where the coronavirus infection rate has consistently been three percent or higher.  He’s also taking other actions.  

Cuomo is threatening to shutdown religious intuitions in New York City COVID 19 hot Spots.  The governor says they need to formally agree to coronavirus rules following apparent numerous mass gathering violations

“Some religious leaders believe they have heard immunity which is not true. Some people believe have followed politics and think masks are ineffective.”

Cuomo says the state will take over enforcement of coronavirus rules in problematic areas in Brooklyn and Queens after pointing out that New York City has handed out very few mask and gathering violations.
