President Trump declares a National Emergency
NYC Mayor declares state of emergency
Governor Cuomo announced a plan to enforce a "containment area" of a one-mile radius around the Young Israel synagogue at the center of the cluster, an area that includes much of the city of New Rochelle and stretches into the town of Eastchester, both of which are in Westchester County.
"There are going to be more cases because we are testing more people - that's a good thing because then we can deal with the situation based on more facts." said Cuomo - who declared a state of emergency today to help New York more quickly and effectively contain the spread of the virus.
All of the new Westchester cases are connected to the New Rochelle lawyer who was the initial Westchester patient.
First case in Westchester is in New Rochelle (50 year old NY lawyer).
Results are pending for the individual, who is under the age of 50 and has respiratory symptoms after recently traveling to Italy.
You must call or go online to schedule a pickup.

![Picture](/uploads/7/1/9/4/71946681/published/202003-plastic-bag-ban-1.png?1580849469)
The ban takes effect March 1 after being signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last year.
The goal is to reduce plastics pollution in New York; think tattered plastic bags in trees or clogging street drains.
On the other hand, experts say plastic bags produce less greenhouse gases over their lifetime than paper bags,making them a better option from a global warming standpoint.
By next month, all grocery and retail establishments required to pay sales tax must be fully switched over to paper bags and/or reusable bags. Then it's up to the counties or the stores to decide whether to charge 5 cents for each paper bag.
That includes stores like Target and Kohl’s, and your local corner shop.
At least eight other states have also banned plastic bags, including California, Oregon, Delaware and New Jersey. Dutchess, Suffolk and Ulster counties have already implemented bans passed by their lawmakers in the last two years.
On average, paper bags will cost stores about seven times more to order in bulk than plastic bags, said Jim Calvin, president of the state Association of Convenience Stores.
There are about 8,500 convenience stores in New York, including gas stations, bodegas and rest stop stores.
As retailers mull over whether to charge for paper bags, New York counties and cities are also considering opting into a 5-cent fee per paper bag within their borders.
The money would be divided between the state’s Environmental Protection Fund and a fund to distribute reusable bags in their communities.
Many have already decided against a fee or have indicated they plan to go that route.
Only four counties — Albany, Tompkins, Suffolk and Ulster — and New York City have opted in so far.
There are exceptions to the ban, including plastic bags for bulk items, produce and newspapers.
There are 11 instances where it's OK for a store to hand out a plastic bag, including when a bag holds:
- uncooked meat, fish or poultry;
- bulk items;
- sliced or prepared foods;
- a newspaper for delivery; or
- prescription drugs.
