-Beginning Friday, schools will close for two weeks in a "containment area" centered in New Rochelle, New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday. New Rochelle, which is about 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan, is at the center of an outbreak of more 108 cases in Westchester County, out of 173 statewide. He said it may be the largest cluster of cases in the U.S.
-Gov. Cuomo also said he is deploying the National Guard to the New Rochelle containment area to help deliver food to homes and clean public spaces, AP reported. The state and a private health system are setting up a testing facility in the area, and large gathering places and houses of worship will be closed for at least two weeks, he said. The containment area with a one-mile radius is centered around a synagogue thought to be at the center of the cluster, officials told the New York Times.
Officials in New York's Nassau County said the 19 confirmed coronavirus cases there include two school bus drivers that transport between them about 80 students on several routes on Long Island, the CNN reported. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said most of the students' families have been contacted by the department of health. Some schools have closed in response.
