ニューヨーク市で緊急事態宣言が発令。ブロードウェイは公演中止、メトロポリタン美術館も閉館【新型コロナ】

We have 95 confirmed cases of COVID-19. We know that’s going to grow quickly. We are taking new precautions that every New Yorker will feel in their daily lives.

We're in agreement with the state to enforce a rule barring large gatherings of 500 or more people. This will affect parades, rallies, sporting events, conferences and performance venues.

For most venues this will begin 5 PM on Friday.

For Broadway theaters it began tonight.

None of us wanted to take these actions. This crisis could easily be a six month crisis and the recovery from it could take a long time.

We didn't do this lightly, but it was necessary.

A statement from Met leadership regarding COVID-19:
