New York City 'Almost to Point' of Recommending 'Shelter-in-Place' to
Governor, Mayor Says

Reuters

   NEW YORK - New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Wednesday that he
   was "almost to the point" of recommending to New York Governor Andrew
   Cuomo that the city implement a 'shelter-in-place' policy that would
   have people stay in their homes.
   "We have a little bit more we have to make sense of -- how we are going
   to get people food and medicine," de Blasio told NBC's "TODAY" morning
   show, adding that he would only make that decision in consultation with
   the state. "But I have to say it has to be considered seriously
   starting today."
