New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered schools to close beginning on Tuesday in several coronavirus"hot spots" in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens.to close schools in 11 neighborhoods beginning on Wednesday after coronavirus test positivity rates rose above 3% in those areas for seven days in a row.
He said the state would take over the enforcement of social distancing rules from local authorities in the hot spots. The two leaders have not appeared together in public in many months, although Cuomo said he spoke by phone with the mayor earlier on Monday."I think it goes far beyond the question of enforcement," he told CNN on Monday in response to Cuomo's comments."I think here's a case where we need to really work deeply with communities, with community leaders, to have a bigger turnaround in the way people are handling things.
Many of the affected neighborhoods include large, close-knit Orthodox Jewish communities. Cuomo said he planned to meet with community leaders again on Tuesday to seek their help with getting people to comply with the rules.
