Newsday: Schools closing Tuesday in NYC’s COVID-19 ‘hot spots’
Schools in “hot spot” neighborhoods in New York City where clusters of coronavirus cases have been identified will be shut down starting Tuesday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said, as he warned he will take similar action against religious institutions that violate mask-wearing and social distancing laws.
In closing these schools, Cuomo remarked, “Better safe than sorry. I would not send my child to a school in a cluster that has not been tested.”
