New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters on March 17 that people living in New York City should be prepared to shelter in place within the next 48 hours over the coronavirus outbreak. But New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said it’s unlikely the entire city would be quarantined.
“This is a reality that is being talked about because the crisis continues to grow. We are all deeply concerned about the direction and the trajectory,” Mayor de Blasio said in a news conference. “It has not happened yet, but it is definitely a possibility at this point.”
