“#NYC threatens to shut non-essential businesses if COVID cases rise<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The city Health Department said they will shut non-essential businesses and limit gatherings in the city\u2019s coronavirus hotspots if cases continue to rise in the areas.<\/p>\n

The reopening rollbacks could hit nine \u201ccluster\u201d sites where virus cases have ticked up, including a large swath of southern Brooklyn and Williamsburg \u2014 as well as Kew Gardens and Edgemere-Far Rockaway in Queens.<\/p>\n

The Health Department will ramp up inspections in the areas to assure mask compliance and social<\/a> distancing practices, the department said in a press release.<\/p>\n

The measures could come as early as Tuesday. If cases continue to rise, the city will consider banning all gatherings of more than 10 people; issuing fines to those refusing to wear a mask when offered; closing private schools and care centers; and shutting down non-essential businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the indicators continue to rise, there must be additional enforcement actions,\u201d the department said. \u201cFor the first time in the city\u2019s recovery period, there could be the immediate scaling back of activities in these ZIP codes if progress is not made by Monday evening.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Brooklyn, the outbreak has hit predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods. One hotspot, known as the \u201cOcean Parkway cluster,\u201d includes Midwood, Borough Park and Bensonhurst.<\/p>\n

Case increases in that cluster have also been accompanied by a jump in positive tests from Williamsburg, another major hub of Orthodox life.<\/p>\n

Mayor de Blasio on Wednesday warned that the city would be cracking down on the clusters to stop the spread but didn\u2019t link the rise to the Orthodox community.<\/p>\n

Mask compliance has been \u201coverwhelmingly low\u201d in the hotspots across both boroughs, the Health Department said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The city will be rolling out mobile testing sites to the impacted neighborhoods as Health Department workers canvas the areas to distribute face coverings, hand sanitizer and coronavirus literature.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
