NYC raises COVID-19 alert level to high
Fox 5 NY ^ | 5/16/22 (updated 5/17/22) | FOX 5 NY Staff

NEW YORK - New York City has entered a 'high alert' warning for COVID-19. The city's health department announced the move on Tuesday morning.

Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan, had issued an advisory on Monday urging all New Yorkers to wear a mask while indoors including in grocery stores, building lobbies, offices, stores, and other common or shared spaces.

In a statement, the department said: "As a city, we have the tools to blunt the impact of this wave, including distributing tests, masks and promoting treatments. Getting back to Low Risk depends on everyone doing their part and if we follow guidance, our forecasts anticipate this wave’s peak will not last long. What we do now can make all the difference."

Raising the alert level from medium to high indicates an increased and significant level of community spread.

"Regular home testing and wearing masks indoors, especially while cases rise, is the best way to keep yourself and your community safe," Vasan tweeted. "I advise all New Yorkers to mask up indoors, especially if you're unvaccinated, have not had your booster, or are in a high-risk category."

The vaccines would have worked if people had just taken all twenty seven doses like they were told!

Prevents booking criminals into jails. Keeps criminals masked. Keeps criminals from being arrested. Keeps election fraud techniques on the ready. Keeps perps in all the above unidentifiable.

No, nothing you force people to do will make much difference at this point.

Yep and it seems the majority of people will happily go along with it.

If NYC is so reliably lib, why did Deep State shove RCV down its throat...?

Stop testing and the Fauci Flu effectively disappears. Then again, this IS an election year and the Democrat/Communists can’t win without it.

No, no, no, this is too little, too late.

Lockdown the city entirely. 2 weeks. No one leaves their home: that includes Dr’s, food deliveries, trash pickup, etc. EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

If possible, hold your breath too.

Anyone going out on the street, or even peeking thru a window or a hallway is to be shot. Leave them to die.

After about a week, there will be no more flu. Let it be as-is for all summer. Even if a drone flies over shoot it on landing. Satellite checking only.

Sell the city back to the Indians — either bunch.
