Gov. Andrew Cuomo promised to crack down on large social events in Brooklyn after The Post reported three banquet halls in Borough Park appeared to be hosting Hasidic Jewish wedding parties on just one night this week after Mayor Bill de Blasio warned that a similar gathering there led to an uptick in coronavirus cases.
In the case of New York City, if theres any evidence, or plans of weddings that would violate the law, they should forward those complaints to the NYPD or the mayor. If the mayor is not doing any enforcement actions, then the state will, Cuomo said Wednesday during a call with reporters.
Weve had super spreader events in New Rochelle with the Jewish community, weve had them in the Catholic community. The virus does not discriminate by religious or racial lines, right? This is an equal-opportunity situation. So we police it in every circumstance, Cuomo said.
We dont have any evidence that its worse in the Hasidic community, we havent gotten those complaints. If we do, we will follow up and [investigate], he promised.
Whether its young people at a bar or religious people at a wedding, its the same thing to me. Its ignorant, its disrespectful and it violates the law, he said.
Cuomo has repeatedly criticized de Blasio for not controlling crowds at the citys outdoor bars and restaurants. The State Liquor Authority has yanked about 150 liquor licenses from businesses for violating social distancing guidelines.
De Blasio did not comment on the Borough Park events during his press briefing Wednesday, but he did say that the predominantly Hasidic neighborhood has a positive test rate of 2.5 percent well above the citywide average of under 1 percent. Brooklyns Sunset Park also has a 2.5 percent rate.

Ultra Orthodox vote as a bloc, and go Democrat when their leaders get the deal they want.
I think he had a bad experience marrying into a Roamin’ “Catholic” family.
Imagine a world with actual journalists, even if not that bright, that would ask the obvious questions.
“Where will the homos and trannys get married?”
Cuomo’s house. He’ll cook for them.
What happened to “marriage is a human right”? Or is that only for the turd burglars?
riots and tinder and grindr ok but weddings bad and church services bad.
because bug.
uh huh. the new normal.
This is coming from Andrew Cuomo the serial Nursing Home Killer (NHK) who marched with crowds of rioters, declared rioters exempt from coronavirus restrictions, and refused to quarantine himself when he returned from Georgia as he directed every resident in the State of New York to do.
Still barking up the wrong tree is he? Rioting is alright...
Its Jews they hate. They have gone after them with a vengeance!
I’d be willing to bet there are other things up there too.
