New York City is reliving some of the nightmares it endured earlier this spring as coronavirus cases begin to surge, and once again Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio are pointing fingers and offering conflicting guidance
city schools would stay
The officials, some of whom had suggested more aggressive action several weeks ago when the spikes began, told the mayor the neighborhoods had hit a troubling benchmark: A transmission rate of more than 3 percent for at least seven days, which was a standard previously set for more aggressive action.
“City Hall never listens to the actual experts. Numbers are already rising around the city, not just in these zips,” said one person familiar with the discussions. His public hospital chief, Mitch Katz, reinforced potential concerns within the neighborhoods that would be targeted, and Pinny Ringel, who works as the mayor’s liaison to those areas, also urged extensive community involvement to mitigate a backlash, the sources said.
The next day, five senior Orthodox leaders in Far Rockaway wrote a letter to their congregation, advocating for similar precautions.
