For the first time since June 3, New York City’s positive-testing rate was over 3 percent on Tuesday, after a 1.93 percent rate on Monday
The mayor struck a concerned tone on Wednesday. Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images After several months of steadily low case numbers, New York City has seen a significant spike in coronavirus cases over the past few days, and both Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo are sounding the alarm — just as the city’s public schools open their doors to hundreds of thousands of students.
The increase is being driven by hot spots in nine zip codes in Brooklyn and Queens, including Gravesend, Borough Park, and Kew Gardens. Governor Cuomo highlighted those neighborhoods on Wednesday, along with other Orthodox-heavy communities in Rockland County that are also seeing an increase in case positivity, which is contributing to an upward tick in the state’s overall rate. Cuomo said he would meet with religious leaders to try to “stamp out the embers” of the outbreaks.
