ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg will help create a tracing army that will help find people infected with the coronavirus and get them into isolation, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday.
New York will coordinate the massive effort with neighboring New Jersey and Connecticut, accounting for the large number of people who commute into New York City for work. Wide-scale testing, tracing and isolation are considered crucial to taming the outbreak in the hard-hit region.
It all has to be coordinated. There is no tracing that can work with one jurisdiction, Cuomo said at his daily briefing.
The city of more than 8 million people is an epicenter of the pandemic and tracing infected people in the wider metropolitan area will be a gargantuan task. More than 257,000 people statewide have already tested positive for COVID-19 a figure that likely undercounts infected residents by a substantial amount.
