New York, United States Pedestrians secure distance between people walking on the roadway March 8:52 on March 26 by controlling spread of infection
The state of New York, where the United States is the most infected with the new coronavirus, has announced that some roads in the city will be barred from traffic and allow pedestrians to walk on the road. It says that the spread of infection can be suppressed by increasing the distance between people.
This was announced by a New York Governor Cuomo in a press conference on Tuesday, which announced that some roads in the city will be banned from driving and pedestrians will be able to walk on the road.
This will allow pedestrians to be about 1.8 meters apart.
Although New York State restricts residents to go out, they are allowed to buy groceries, and people in front of supermarkets can be seen lining up with people to prevent infection.
New York has more than 30,000 infected people as of the 25th, more than eight times the number of New Jerseys, and the highest in the United States.
Governor Cuomo said this was a personal opinion at the conference, citing the high number of travelers from China, Italy, South Korea, etc., with many infected people, and the high population density of New York State. He emphasized that it is important to maintain the distance between people to limit the spread of infection.
