(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) New York City enters a three-stage restart
China News Service, New York, July 6 (New York City) New York City entered the three-phase restart as scheduled on the 6th. However, in order to prevent the risk of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the restaurant meal that was originally planned to be restored was postponed indefinitely.
According to the arrangements of New York State and New York City, the three-phase restart is mainly aimed at the personal care industry, and merchants such as beauty, nail art, and massage can be reopened. The three-phase restart originally included restaurant dine-in, but in view of the recent pubs and restaurants in southern and western U.S. states that have become a "severe disaster zone" for the spread of the virus, New York State and New York City authorities have decided to postpone the restaurant dine-in restart in New York City indefinitely. Expand the range of outdoor dining areas set up by restaurants.
Recently, New York, which was once the epicenter of the epidemic in the United States, is gradually emerging from the virus haze. According to New York State government data, the number of new coronavirus tests has continued to increase since mid-June, and the positive rate of the test results is basically stable at about 1%. The number of new diagnoses in a single day is between 500 and 700. At the peak of the outbreak in April, the highest number of people diagnosed in New York State in a single day exceeded 11,000, and the highest positive rate of single-day test results was close to 50%.
New York State Governor Andrew Como said at a press conference in Manhattan that day, although health experts expect New York State to restart, the epidemic data may rise again, but in fact the overall data has declined. He believes that this is because New York State insists on taking reasonable restart measures based on the data. New York City's three-stage restart of unrestored restaurant dinning is an example.
Along with the temperature rise and the small national holiday of the United States, many people gathered in New York last weekend. From Upstate New York, Manhattan to Long Island Beach, there were reports of a large number of people who did not wear masks and did not observe social distances. Como warned that if New York residents neglect, the existing epidemic prevention results are likely to be lost, and the epidemic will return. He also asked local governments to take responsibility and force residents to enforce epidemic prevention regulations such as wearing masks and social distance.
While the New York epidemic has continued to ease, the epidemic in the United States has spread rapidly. The New York Times said that since July, the United States has reported about 250,000 new cases, and the cumulative number of infected people in Texas and Florida has exceeded 200,000. Como said that there have been several infections caused by foreign tourists in New York. Under the circumstances that the outbreaks in other states have not been controlled, New York State has always faced import risks.
In order to prevent and control the epidemic, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut jointly issued travel tips, requiring passengers in high-risk states to isolate themselves for 14 days after arrival.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, New York State has a total of 397,000 people infected with the new crown virus, with more than 32,000 deaths and nearly 71,000 recoveries. (Finish)
