N.Y. Creates 'Containment Zone' Limiting Large Gatherings in New Rochelle:
With New Rochelle, a small city just north of New York City in Westchester County, emerging as the epicenter of the states outbreak, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Tuesday announced a targeted containment strategy to halt the spread of the virus.
New Rochelle, at this point, is probably the largest cluster of these cases in the United States, he said at a news conference on Tuesday.
The states plan focuses on a containment area in New Rochelle, where it would deploy the National Guard to clean schools and deliver food to quarantined residents, Mr. Cuomo said.
The area is a one-mile radius centered around a synagogue in New Rochelle believed to connect many of the cases in the cluster, officials said.
