It was the first weekend March when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency due to the coronavirus, which took hold in New Rochelle. For a time, the Westchester County city became the epicenter of the virus in New York and the country.
Governor Cuomo on March 9 announced the state was up to 142 cases, with 98 in Westchester County. He also spoke a day earlier as regular coronavirus updates continued.
“What happened in Westchester County is a person who was positive was in a very large gathering,” says Cuomo. “And people then got infected and then they went to very large gatherings.”
