The epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. is in New York, particularly concentrated in New York City and its surrounding areas. As of Sunday evening, 9,385 people had died. While Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has said there are early indications the number of cases are “plateauing,” he has extended an executive order to keep nonessential businesses, including schools, closed.
New York City looks nothing like its former loud bustling self with many of its thoroughfares quiet and subdued.But while subway use has plunged, ridership in poorer neighborhoods, where many must continue commuting to work, has not changed as dramatically. Overall, the city’s low-income neighborhoods have been hit the hardest by the pandemic. Many of the areas with the highest percentage of confirmed virus cases have the lowest median income, based on data from the first month of the outbreak.Mayor Bill de Blasio said officials would examine the racial makeup of Covid-19 fatalities, as early signs indicate those numbers may mirror long-established trends of healthcare inequality.
What You Can Do
Experts’ understanding of how the virus spreads is still limited, but there are four factors that most likely play a role: how close you get; how long you are near the person; whether that person projects viral droplets on you; and how much you touch your face.
If your community is affected, you can help reduce your risk and do your part to protect others by following some basic steps:
● Wash your hands! Scrub with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and then dry them with a clean towel or let them air dry.
● Keep distance from sick people. Try to stay six feet away from anybody showing flu- or cold-like symptoms, and don’t go to work if you’re sick.
● Prepare your family, and communicate your plan about evacuations, resources and supplies. Experts suggest stocking at least a 30-day supply of any needed prescriptions. Consider doing the same for food staples, laundry detergent and diapers, if you have small children.
