New Rochelle on Lock Down

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) on Tuesday announced schools, places of worship and other large gathering spots within a one-mile zone of the city of New Rochelle will close their doors for 14 days, and National Guard troops will help deliver food and disinfect common areas inside the zone.

As the outbreak of the novel coronavirus grows in the U.S., several major colleges like American University and Ohio State University are shuttering classrooms and moving coursework online through at least month’s end. There are more than 750 reported cases of covid-19, which has been detected in more than 30 states, prompting many to declare states of emergency.

In Washington, President Trump on Tuesday is seeking to drum up support from Republican Senators for an economic plan to stabilize the U.S. economy shaken by the novel coronavirus outbreak, but faces a potentially uphill battle as he pitches costly measures like a payroll tax cut.
