Coronavirus: New York lawyer, his wife, children and neighbour all test positive
City braces for community spreadOn Wednesday, New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the man’s wife, son, daughter, and a neighbour in Westchester County have contracted the virus — none are thought to be in a serious condition. This takes the total number of cases in New York to six.
Authorities are rushing to contain the spread of coronavirus in both the state and the country’s largest city by tracking the movements of those they have identified. Governor Cuomo has appealed for calm but said that community spreading in New York City is inevitable.
“The real issue is how many people will get seriously ill. How many people, God forbid, could lose their lives,” said Governor Cuomo.
The New York Post identified the lawyer as Lawrence Garbuz of the firm Lewis & Garbuz, which he runs with his wife and where his son works as a paralegal.
