Meya wa Jiji la New York, Bill de Blasio ameangaza kuwa Shule zitafungwa kwa muhula mzima wa masomo kutokana na ugonjwa wa COVID-19.
Meya huyo amesema uamuzi huo ni mgumu lakini ni hatua inayopaswa kuchukuliwa ili kuokoa maisha ya watu
New York ina idadi kubwa zaidi ya waathirika wa COVID-19 nchini Marekani. Hadi kufikia jana, kulikuwa na maambukizi 94,409 na vifo 5,429.

The decision was difficult and “painful,” de Blasio said.
"It’s the right thing to do,” he said. “It clearly will help us save lives.”
New York is the epicenter of the outbreak of the new coronavirus in the U.S. The state has more than 160,000 cases, and New York City has more than half of those infections. As of April 10, the city had 94,409 cases and 5,429 deaths.
Though there are signs that the outbreak is slowing, the city will remain in “widespread community transmission” well into May and possibly longer. Even if the spread slows, many social distancing elements must continue to prevent a resurgence of the virus, according to the mayor.
The plan to continue remote learning will include: making sure all students have Internet-enabled digital devices by the end of April; expanding a parent helpline and technical support, new online activities and programs; ensuring eligible seniors can graduate on time; and forming a plan to reopen in September and “combat learning loss.”
