New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that his city, which has the most number of CCP virus cases in the United States, might be shut down until May.

“We think this crisis is going to grow through April and into May,” the mayor told ABC News on Friday morning. When he was asked about what will happen to the city’s schools and if they will be shuttered until that time, he responded, “I think we have to be ready for that.”
