New York now has 524 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, which has recently resulted in its first death, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday.
On Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a state of emergency in New York City, directing emergency and health departments to take"all appropriate and necessary steps" to safeguard public health. One week earlier, Cuomo issued an emergency declaration covering the entire state.
"No one should ever be put at risk & forced to look for shelter during a public health emergency," state Senator Brad Hoylman, a co-sponsor of the measure, wrote on Twitter.
