NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday an end to a controversial coronavirus safety measure.
The mayor says he wanted to replace the rule to close a school if two positive cases are detected.

De Blasio says that’s all about to change. This comes with mixed reaction – many DeAngelis spoke to just want to know more.
