Gov. Andrew Cuomo Says Areas Face Red Zone Restrictions, Which Prohibit ‘Non-Essential Gatherings of Any Size’Hannah Bleau 23 Nov 2020
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) warned on Sunday that certain areas of New York City are heading toward tighter coronavirus restrictions, including the most restrictive “red zone†which prohibits all gatherings deemed “non-essential.â€
The Democrat governor stated some areas, namely Staten Island, Long Island, and parts of Manhattan, are “in the warning track†and could soon face additional restrictions due to concerns over rising infection rates and hospital capacity.
“The rate goes up; there are more restrictions to slow the economy — that’s bad for business. Rates go up, you overburden the hospital system, you overburden doctors, nurses, you can have possible equipment supplies,†he said.
“Numbers go up and people die. People die. Period,†Cuomo added.
The governor said such areas “will go into those zones†unless the existing trajectory “dramatically†changes.
“Parts of Staten Island will go into an orange zone. Parts of Staten Island will go into red zone at the current rate,’’ he continued, referring to Staten Island as a “serious problem.â€
