The UN and Craft are working with the mayor’s office to ensure the delivery of this equipment to medical facilities around the city

Cuomo on a possible mandatory short-term quarantine for NY, NJ and Connecticut: 'I don’t even believe it’s legal'

CNN

President Donald Trump said Saturday he's considering mandatory short-term (two-week) quarantine on New York, certain parts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Trump says it’d be an enforceable quarantine.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told CNN locking down states isn't legal and would lead to "total mayhem." He called Trump's suggestion a "federal declaration of war" on sates.

"I don’t even believe it’s legal," Cuomo said. "That’s not a quarantine, that’d be a lockdown. If you said that we’re geographically confining people, that’d be a lockdown. Then we would be Wuhan, China, and that wouldn’t make sense."

Cuomo says New York is the financial sector of the country and it’d be paralyzed if the state was put on lockdown.

"How would you ever operationally stop goods from coming to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut? … I can’t believe he’s considering that," Cuomo said.
"As a governor, I’m not going to close down my borders."

State of New York

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said 50 states and the federal government are all competing for supplies and driving up prices.

New York governor says his brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, has coronavirus: "He is going to be fine"
From CNN's Adrienne Vogt

Chris Cuomo CNN

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo just said his brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, has tested positive for coronavirus.

“He is going to be fine. He's young, in good shape, strong — not as strong as he thinks — but he will fine. But, there is a lesson in this,” Gov. Cuomo said after calling the virus a “great equalizer.”

“He's going to be quarantined in his basement at home. He's just worried about his daughter and his kids, that he hopes he didn’t get them infected,” Gov. Cuomo said.

The “Cuomo Prime Time” anchor said he had a fever, chills and shortness of breath, but he is now feeling well. He will continue to host his 9 p.m. ET show on CNN.

“In his job, he's combative and he’s argumentative and he's pushing people. But that's his job. That’s really not who he is. He's a really sweet, beautiful guy. And he's my best friend,” Gov. Cuomo said.

The governor also said he chided Chris Cuomo for having their mother visit his house two weeks ago.
“Love sometimes needs to be a little smarter than just reactive,” Gov. Cuomo said.

New York governor: "We have been behind this virus since day one"

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he is “tired” of trying to play catch-up in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

“I am tired of being behind this virus,” Cuomo said. "We have been behind it from day one since it got here. And we've been playing catch-up. You don't win playing catch-up. We have to get ahead of it.”

Cuomo said officials underestimated the effects of the coronavirus and need to anticipate the next phases of the virus.

“The main battle is at the apex. We're still going up the mountain. The main battle is on the top of the mountain … Then we come down the other side of the mountain. We are planning now for the battle at the top of the mountain,” Cuomo said.

He said the apex of the virus is still projected to be in 14-21 days.
