Residents of New York say they are not worried by Governor Andrew Cuomo’s move to declare a state of emergency because of the coronavirus outbreak. Residents say that as long as they are careful about personal hygiene, there is no need to change their way of life. As of 11 March, more than 173 people in the US state had tested positive for new coronavirus. Thousands more are self-quarantined at home after potential exposure with infected Covid-19.

 “New Rochelle, at this point, is probably the largest cluster of these cases in the United States,” Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said at a news conference on Tuesday.
 The state’s plan focuses on a “containment area” in New Rochelle, where it would deploy the National Guard to clean schools and deliver food to quarantined residents, Mr. Cuomo said.
 In the United States, more than 975 people in 37 states and Washington have tested positive for the virus so far, and at least 27 people have died.
