Parents in New York City can take comfort in one thing: zero kids have died so far. Children under 18 make up just 2% of the city's cases, the data shows.
Older New Yorkers aren't fairing so well. While people 45 and over account for 52% of all COVID-19 cases, they make up 77% of all hospitalizations and 97% of the city's 192 deaths through Tuesday night, according to the data.
White House officials Tuesday urged anyone leaving the New York City metropolitan area to self-isolate and monitor themselves carefully for 14 days. President"We remain deeply concerned about New York City and the New York metro area," Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus response coordinator, said at a press briefing Tuesday. She said about 56% of all U.S. cases and 31% of all fatalities in the United States are concentrated in the metropolitan area.
Vice President Mike Pence told anyone living in or passing through the metropolitan area to quarantine themselves for 14 days after leaving.
