The conversations come as a growing number of city officials are calling on the city to implement what they are calling a city lockdown that would at minimum close bars and restaurants and would further shut down places of business. The calls come as bars and restaurants remained full in parts of the city throughout the weekend, even as Governor Andrew Cuomo implemented a rule that ordered all venues with seating of over 500 people to shut down immediately, and smaller venues to operate at 50 percent capacity.
Corey Johnson, the speaker of the New York City Council, echoed Stringer’s call, calling for only grocery stores, banks, bodegas, and pharmacies to remain open, and restaurants if they can do pick up and delivery.The move comes as two hard hit European nations, Spain and France implemented draconian quarantine rules as coronavirus cases spiked in each country.
