New York will close public schools due to the increase in covid-19 cases

New York, Nov 18 (EFE) .- The mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, declared this Wednesday that the city, which has the largest educational district in the United States, will close its schools starting tomorrow Thursday as a “precaution” due to the increase in covid-19 cases.

De Blasio wrote on his Twitter account that the Big Apple has reached 3% positivity in a seven-day proration, the “limit” established to reverse the hybrid opening of schools, so the centers “will be closed morning”.

“We must fight against the second wave of covid-19,” added the first mayor in a brief message after three and a half hours of waiting for his daily press conference, to which he has not been presented. EFE
