New York starting the shutdown

Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on Sunday announced he would sign an executive order limiting all New York City bars and restaurants to delivery and takeout as well as requiring many entertainment venues to temporarily shut down as the city tries to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

"The virus can spread rapidly through the close interactions New Yorkers have in restaurants, bars and places where we sit close together. We have to break that cycle."

"Nightclubs, movie theaters, small theater houses, and concert venues must all close," he added.
