00:00So today, unfortunately, is not a day for celebration. Today is a more difficult day and I'm going to be
00:06giving an update that gives me no joy at all. In fact, it pains me to be putting forward this
00:12approach that we'll need. But in some parts of our city, in Brooklyn and Queens, we're having an extraordinary problem,
00:18something we haven't seen since the spring.
00:21It is necessary to stop the spread of the coronavirus in these communities and beyond. And it's necessary for the
00:28good of all of New York City. Pending approval from the state of New York, starting Wednesday morning, public and
00:35non-public schools would be closed in these areas.
00:37If we contain this situation in the nine key zip codes and the 11 on the watch list, we can
00:43stop this from spreading more deeply into New York City. We can stop this from being a quote unquote second
00:49wave in New York City.
00:50We can stop this from being a quote unquote second wave in New York City.
