Chinanews, October 1st. According to a report by the US Chinese website, after New York City reported on September 29 that the single-day positive rate exceeded the risk threshold of 3%, the positive rate announced on September 30 fell to below 1% again.
New York City Mayor Bai Sihao said that New York City will decide whether to continue the school based on the 7-day average, not the daily number.
On September 29, about 300,000 public elementary school students returned to the classroom.
Junior high and high school students will also report this weekend.
About half of public school families choose to take classes in class, and the other half choose to let their children study remotely at home.
New York City Mayor Blasio pointed out that nine postcodes have seen the largest increase in confirmed cases.
On September 30, the number of new crown cases in seven postal codes continued to rise, one fell slightly while the other remained unchanged.
In the past two weeks, the positive cases in these nine postal codes accounted for 25% of the city.
De Blasio said that 400 New York City police, 250 law enforcement officials and 300 members of the detection and tracking team will work hard to ensure that people in these communities wear masks and maintain social distance.
In New York City, if someone refuses to wear a mask after being distributed or reminded to wear a mask, they will face a fine of up to $1,000.
Bai Sihao said that if law enforcement efforts to maintain social distancing and wear masks do not work, the government will take more stringent measures, including closing non-essential businesses and banning public gatherings of more than 10 people.
"If this can be avoided, no one wants this to happen." Bai Sihao said.
