New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says he wants to lock down nine CCP virus hot spots in the city after case data showed a surge in infections, while imposing more limited restrictions in another 10 neighborhoods with more modest case spikes.
“Today, unfortunately, is not a day for celebration. Today is a more difficult day,” de Blasio told reporters on a conference call Oct. 4, noting that in nine ZIP codes in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, the case positivity rate had remained above 3 percent for seven consecutive days.
