New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti have ordered movie theaters in their respective cities to close in response to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s the first time in history that cinemas have shuttered en masse not due to weather concerns.
He added, “We will come through this, but until we do, we must make whatever sacrifices necessary to help our fellow New Yorkers.” “With this action, AMC continues its commitment to adhere to recommendations of the CDC on social distancing, which is an extremely important concept in these unprecedented times,” AMC CEO and president Adam Aron said in a statement.
De Blasio had been under pressure by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to close the city’s schools, which is the nation’s largest public system. The mayor said the decision was difficult given the consideration of the “full cost” of the hardship imposed on many parents. The city will still make grab-and-go breakfast and lunch available through schools for students who rely on those meals for nutrition, de Blasio said.
