NEW YORK (77 WABC) — New York City has been hit the hardest by the Coronavirus outbreak, with 14,909 total cases. Millions have been urged to stay home.

The NYPD has begun patrolling the parks and streets to ensure residents are practicing appropriate social distancing. This week, Mayor Bill de Blasio is focusing on educating and warning New Yorkers not to congregate in public spaces.

Last night, de Blasio said if that approach does not work, tougher restrictions like sanctions and playground closures could be put into effect.
