Gov. Cuomo orders hundreds of schools in nine NYC neighborhoods to close from TOMORROW

New York Gov Andrew Cuomo has ordered all schools in nine New York City coronavirus hotspot zipcodes to close and has threatened to shut down religious institutions if they don't agree to comply with social distancing rules. 

The schools, both public and private, will be required to close from Tuesday onwards in the Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods where COVID-19 positivity rates have been surging. 

Cuomo could not immediately confirm exactly how many schools will have to close and for how long. It is believed about 100 public schools and 200 private schools are located within these zipcodes.  

The number of new COVID-19 cases have been rising in pockets of the city, predominantly in neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens that are home to the city's large Orthodox Jewish population.
