On May 8, local time, New York City Mayor Bai Sihao said at a press conference that in order to prevent and control the outbreak of New Coronary Pneumonia, New York City will further strengthen its efforts to implement "social distance" in public places.

  After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic in New York, officials required residents to maintain a "social distance" of six feet (about 1.8 meters) with others when they went out to reduce the risk of virus transmission. But recently, citizens have gathered in many public places such as Central Park in New York City.

  Bai Sihao said that although the epidemic is mitigating, the "social distance" must be implemented. From March 16 to May 5, 374 people in New York City were called for violations of "social distance." The New York Police will next implement traffic restrictions at Hudson Park Piers 45 and 46 on the west side of Manhattan, while increasing Brooklyn ’s Domino Park police force to monitor the flow of people and the implementation of “social distance”.
