This is a difficult time for our families, our friends, our neighborhoods and our communities. As a City, now is the time to come together, and look out for one another. I want to explain what the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic means for you and your family, and how you help stop the spread of the virus in New York. Were urging people to exercise caution and take care of themselves. There are simple things everyone can do that will make a big difference:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid shaking hands.
Cover your coughs and sneezes into your elbow or with a tissue.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Please remember what social distancing involves: avoid crowds of any kind, and keep a distance
of at least 6 feet from other people when youre out.
What I want people to remember is that its not just about keeping yourself healthy. By taking these precautions, youre also helping to keep our entire city healthy. And most importantly, youre helping to keep the most vulnerable people in our community safe: especially the elderly, and people with underlying medical issues.
