School closings in New York
Faced with the possibility that New York City exceed 3% in the next few days, Andrew Cuomo pointed out that the parents of the students as well as the teachers of the schools should be able to decide.
The center’s own infection rate should also be taken into account, Cuomo said.
“If the school itself has a much lower rate, the school is not part of the problem,” said the governor. “It could be argued that keeping children in school is part of the solution,” he added.
