Coronavirus
Corey cancels
State of City talk
over COVID-19
City Council Speaker Corey Johnson announced
Tuesday that he has cancelled his
State of the City address at the Borough of
Manhattan Community College due to the
COVID-19 outbreak.
BY ROBERT
POZARYCKI
The ongoing coronavirus
outbreak
prompted City
Council Speaker Corey
Johnson to put off his
own State of the City
Address, which he had
prepared to deliver this
Thursday, March 12, in
Manhattan.
Johnson was to make
his address before an audience
at the Borough of
Manhattan Community
College, but on Tuesday,
announced that he
would postpone it “out
of an abundance of caution.”
“We felt this was the
right decision to ensure
that Council employees
and the hundreds of
guests we invited remain
safe and healthy,” Johnson
said in a statement.
The speaker did not
announce an alternate
date for the address, but
indicated he would release
his report on New
York City government,

and his proposals for the
future, this Thursday.
While the city has
not yet prohibited large
public gatherings, the
Health Department and
city offi cials have made
multiple warnings urging
seniors, people with preexisting
conditions and
those with compromised
immune systems to avoid
crowds and help stave off
potential coronavirus infection.
Mayor Bill de Blasio
announced this morning
that there are now
25 confi rmed coronavirus
cases in New York
City. The disease is being
spread, in many instances,
from person to person
through the discharge of
infected bodily fl uid from
coughs and sneezes.
“I was looking forward
to the speech, but at a
time when we are urging
New Yorkers to consider
measures like telecommuting
and staggered
work hours, it seemed an
unnecessary risk,” Johnson
added.
