City monitoring COVID-19
increases in Brooklyn
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
The city is monitoring increases in
COVID-19 cases in Williamsburg, Midwood,
Flatbush, and Borough Park, according
to Mayor Bill de Blasio, who
promised that health offi cials would be
ramping up efforts to quash the spread
of the disease in those areas.
“All these are neighborhoods where
we’ve seen some upticks recently, and
we need to apply energy and focus to
these areas,” Hizzoner said at a Sept.
22 press conference. “We’re going to
work with community leaders, community
organizations, trusted members
of the community to get the word
out — particularly in any place where
we see an uptick.”
In addition to the four Brooklyn
neighborhoods, the city is also monitoring
case spikes in Queens’ Far
Rockaway and Kew Gardens.
The mayor noted that the trend of
citywide cases is still steadily improving
— as the daily average of new cases
over the previous seven days is just 333
— but the city is pushing to combat the
spread on a “hyperlocal” level to ensure
that any recorded outbreaks are
contained.
As an example of their planned efforts,
Hizzoner cited the city’s actions
in Sunset Park in August, when health
honchos opened three new testing sites
and began an awareness campaign in
response to a similar outbreak.
“We saw a challenge some weeks ago
in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and a huge
hyperlocal effort made all the difference
— the numbers came right back
down,” said de Blasio. “Now we’re going
to be focused on these communities, to
make sure those numbers get right back
down, where we need them to be.”
The mayor, who did not provide exact
numbers in the communities experiencing
an uptick, hinted that new testing
sites could come to those newly affl icted
areas, in addition to the standard testing
sites at all NYC Health+Hospital locations
and CityMd clinics.
De Blasio also used his Tuesday
press conference to warn that the
colder weather might incentivize people
to gather indoors in large numbers
— but noted that such actions are both
against safety protocols, and a violation
of the state law.
“The weather is starting to get a little
cooler. It’s turned from summer to
fall pretty rapidly, as you can feel,” he
said. “So now, we have particular challenge
around indoor gatherings — we
have to keep reminding New Yorkers,
large indoor gatherings are not acceptable.”
