Governor Cuomo is giving an update on the state response to the Coronavirus.
Cuomo announced today there are an additional 31 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state, bringing total to 173.
Cuomo announced that there is a section of New Rochelle that is particularly hard hit and that is why he is authorizing a containment area that will be in effect from Thursday, March 12, until Wednesday, March 25.
The containment area has a one mile radius and all schools and gathering places inside that radius will be closed. Cuomo says the National Guard is being brought in to help deliver food to people in the containment zone and help clean public spaces.
