New York City is expected to enter the high COVID-19 alert level in the coming days, and health officials are strongly recommending wearing masks in public indoor settings.
Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark shared a letter she sent this week to both Mastercard and Visa, urging them to cut ties with ghost gun sellers.
"Today, I spoke with White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha about the state of the pandemic and the Administration's preparation plans to ensure states have the resources, supplies, and distribution networks needed to manage potential surges across the country this summer and fall," Hochul said in a press release.
The distribution effort joins other measures to blunt the worst impacts of the current wave, including the distribution of 35,000 COVID-19 courses of treatment to date. "It's never been easier for New Yorkers to get a free at-home test, a high-quality mask, or access COVID-19 treatments in New York City," Adams said."At-home tests and masks provide reliable and convenient ways for New Yorkers to confidently and safely protect themselves and others and allow them to enjoy our city.
