New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announces that he has deployed the state’s National Guard to New Rochelle, a coronavirus hot spot and also the home to a large Jewish community.
“This is unique in the United States of America, we haven’t seen this anywhere else. Think about it, New Rochelle has double the cases of New York City, it’s true, it’s a phenomenon,” Cuomo tells reporters at a press conference.
Westchester County, where New Rochelle is located, currently has 108 of the states 173 coronavirus cases, according to CNBC.
