Cuomo is deploying the National Guard to a New York City suburb that has the largest known cluster of coronavirus cases in the state.
New Rochelle, a small city just north of New York City in Westchester County has108 confirmed cases of the virus, Cuomo said at a news conference Tuesday.
Due to the high concentration of COVID-19 cases in New Rochelle, the state is moving from a containment strategy to one of mitigation. The steps include minimizing gatherings and closing schools, community centers and houses of worship within a 1-mile radius of the center of the outbreak, which is believed to be a synagogue.
