Coronavirus | New York delays Presidential Primary; Trump eyes a quarantine

The Hindu  

As novel coronavirus cases kept rising in the national epicenter of New York, President Donald Trump said Saturday he is considering a quarantine affecting residents of the State, neighbouring New Jersey and Connecticut. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Saturday he wasn’t sure what the President meant but didn’t “like the sound of it.” Meanwhile, Mr. Cuomo postponed New York’s Presidential Primary from April to June, and nurses made anguished pleas for more protective equipment and rebuffed officials’ claims that supplies are adequate. “I don’t even know what that means, I don’t know how that could be legally enforceable, and from a medical point of view, I don’t know what you would be accomplishing,” Mr. Cuomo said at a news conference, “I don’t like the sound of it.” ‘Elections unwise’ Mr. Cuomo said he was delaying the State’s Presidential Primary from April 28 to June 23, when the State plans to hold legislative congressional and local party primaries. “We will not let any health official or government official say that we have enough” protective equipment, he said, “until every health care worker has an N95 for every time they interact with a COVID-19 patient.” Manual air masks As the State continues scrambling to try to amass 30,000 ventilators ahead of a projected mid-to-late-April peak in coronavirus cases, Mr. Cuomo bluntly illustrated the alternative-masks with manually operated air bags.
