White House tells New Yorkers who left the city to ‘self-quarantine’ for two weeks

All New York City residents, who may have left the city to go elsewhere, were told to ‘self-isolate’ as they might have been exposed to COVID-19 virus.

At today’s daily briefing, the White House COVID-19 task force was urging all New Yorkers to self-quarantine, since New York City was quickly becoming a new coronavirus hotspot.

New York state accounted for 60 percent of all the new Covid-19 cases in the US by Tuesday and almost half the total cases, with 25,665 documented instances. Big Apple residents were almost ten times more likely to be infected than any other Americans, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
