Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday he wants the state to help shut down nine COVID-19 hot-spot neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens starting Wednesday — closing all of their non-essential businesses, public and private schools and indoor and outdoor restaurant dining.
Kids in the areas with the alarming coronavirus numbers could still attend school for the next two days before going all remote Wednesday, de Blasio said — while houses of worship will remain open.
“We’re having an extraordinary problem — something we haven’t seen since spring,’’ de Blasio told reporters on a conference call, referring to the uptick in the coronavirus in those areas.
