COVID-19 UPDATES - Updated: April 18th
Medidas drásticas também foram tomadas em Nova York, como em muitos outros estados, para tentar conter a disseminação do coronavírus - COVID-19. Bloqueio de voos para a Europa, fechamento de escolas, proibição de eventos. E é notícia de algumas horas atrás que o presidente Trump declarou a Emergência Nacional. Os teatros e museus da Broadway fecharão, além de restaurantes e bares, a Starbucks também provavelmente fechará todas as suas lojas, e tudo isso está mudando diariamente e afetando fortemente a maneira como os nova-iorquinos estão acostumados a trabalhar, comer e viver suas vidas diárias.
Mesmo que na cidade e em alguns lugares como o Central Park ainda pareçamos estar vivendo uma vida um tanto normal, basta ir a supermercados e farmácias para perceber como tudo está mudando. Prateleiras vazias, fila longa nos caixas...
