Are you agitating for a faster reopening??Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) June 7, 2020
Then you need to be agitating TWICE AS HARD for NYC to build a system to contain the spread of the virus. That means dramatically increasing the amount of:
==> Diagnostic testing
==> Contact tracing
==> Quarantining/Isolating
NYC has now changed testing criteria, and *anyone* can get tested, regardless of symptoms.Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) June 6, 2020
Extensive support is available for those quarantining at home or isolating in hotels, including food, Rx, medical services etc. Details: https://t.co/obXQkRPK3n
And remember: if you test positive in NYC you will get a call from a contact tracer to discuss who in your circle may have been exposed so they can be protected. Process is confidential. Critical that everyone participate. Details: https://t.co/X29nPqobk5Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) June 6, 2020
