New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have agreed to close all movie theaters, gyms, bars, restaurants, and casinos in the states starting at 8p.m.
"We have agreed to a common set of rules that will pertain in all of our states, so don't even think about going to a neighboring state because there's going to be a different set of conditions. I believe we're the only region in the country that has done this,” Cuomo said in a statement.
Gatherings of more than 50 people will also be banned in the tri-state area, and restaurants will serve take-out only.
“I think the federal government should have set up a uniform set of rules, so, absent that, regional coordination is imperative,” the Democratic governor added. "The faster and better societies close down, the sooner they reopen.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the “drastic step” is an “effort to save the lives of loved ones and our neighbors.”
“Our lives are all changing in ways that were unimaginable just a week ago,” de Blasio said in a statement.
