ALBANY – Continuation of schooling at some yeshivas in the red zone COVID-19 clusters in the Monroe-Palm Tree and Spring Valley areas will result in their mandatory closure and the withholding of state funds, Governor Cuomo said on Wednesday.
The same goes for large gatherings in those communities; they are prohibited.
The governor continued to drive home that the individual local governments must enforce the coronavirus protocols, which in the hotspot clusters means no large social gathering and schools closed.
The COVID-19 positivity rate statewide on Wednesday was 0.95 percent. In the Rockland County hotspot the rate was 7.2 percent while in Orange County it stood 7.4.
