Im tired right its good to have you with us the u. S. State of new york has joined california and illinois in confining nearly all residents today harms thats over 70000000 people its a drastic step designed to prevent a run on the hospitals like an easily the right of increase in the number of cases risks overwhelming new Yorks Hospital system cases in the state climbed to more than 7058 people have died certified. Well heres what new York Governor Andrew Cuomo had to say about the measures. Today were bring you to 100 percent of the workforce must stay home. These are Non Essential Services essential services have to continue to function Grocery Stores need food pharmacies need drugs your internet has to continue to work the water has to turn on when you turn a faucet so here are essential services that will continue to function but 100 percent of the workforce and when i talk about the most drastic action we can take this is the most risk that we can all ride for more lets bring in you correspondent all of a sound ice in washington good to see the old nearly 20000000 people leaving the state of new york how exactly are these drastic measures going to billy be implemented all right its very populous state and this is an executive order jared so new York Governor Andrew Cuomo as you just mentioned said that the state of new york is facing a situation where its hospitals are increasingly overwhelmed due to the spread of the coronavirus and in order to avoid the spread of virus from further spreading people will have to stay at home starting sunday 8 pm which of course is an interesting time because its after the weekend and gives people and citizens of new york the time to go about their everyday lives and potentially also spread the virus until then after that nonessential businesses will have to close there are of course the typical exceptions that weve been seeing across other countries and cities that are in a lockdown like supermarkets and pharmacies will remain open but public life as we know it will come to a near complete standstill and everyone whos been there knows what that means a century for a city like new york a few days to go as you say a lot of what new york is doing is being done elsewhere already what do people there think about these restrictions that are coming.
