Dave A. Chokshi, MD, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, has issued an advisory urging vulnerable New Yorkers to stop all nonessential activities. People over 65 years and those with underlying health conditions are encouraged to stay home as much as possible. The advisory states:
"To protect yourself, your household members and your communities against the spread of COVID-19, you are hereby advised to limit activities outside your home, except leaving home to travel to work or school, or for essential purposes including medical care, grocery shopping or pharmacy necessities."
On Tuesday, 12/1, the city reported a seven-day average rate of positive test results of 4.14%, the highest since June. 1,100 patients with the coronavirus are hospitalized in NYC, more than double the total from three weeks ago.
