Schools in New York City will close this week in the latest measures by government officials to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Governor Cuomo announced the decision Sunday evening amidst a growing community outcry to keep students home during the current pandemic. “NYC must have a plan in place in the next 24 hours for childcare for essential workers and a plan to make sure kids will continue to get the meals they need. NYC schools will close early this week,” Cuomo said in a tweet. A total of 729 people in New York State have tested positive for the virus, up by 69 since Saturday evening.
