I want everyone to READ this because these idiots actually think that
you should spend the 3 months sitting on a couch, alone, listening to
the radio for further instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Variants/Strains
People in NYC have tested positive for a variant of the virus that
causes COVID-19 that is more transmissible than other variants and may
cause more severe illness.
The new variant — called B.1.1.7 — was first reported in the U.K. and
has been found in other countries and U.S. states. Preliminary studies
suggest that vaccines authorized for use in the U.S. will provide
protection against this variant. Additional studies are ongoing.
NYC is monitoring for strains — types of variants that show meaningful
differences in how they function — and other variants that have been
identified and reported in New York State, including B.1.351, which was
first reported in South Africa.
Data on B.1.1.7 Variant in NYC
As of February 17, the B.1.1.7 variant has been reported in 59 people in
NYC.
Genomic sequencing of a subset of virus specimens taken from NYC
residents during the week starting February 8 found an estimated 6.2%
were B.1.1.7.

New Yorkers Should Limit Activities
The number of new COVID-19 cases in NYC remains high.
All New Yorkers should take steps to prevent COVID-19. People with
underlying health conditions, as well as those who live with or care for
them, should take special precautions:
Avoid public spaces and gatherings.
Wear a face covering at all times, indoors and outdoors. You can get
better protection by wearing two masks (a cloth mask over a disposable
mask), or by wearing a single higher grade mask, such as a KN95.

Do not leave home, except for work, school or essential activities,
including medical care, COVID-19 testing, vaccination, or to go to the
grocery store or pharmacy.
If you feel sick, do not leave home except for a COVID-19 test or
other essential medical care.
This advisory applies to a wide range of New Yorkers, such as people 65
and older with certain underlying health conditions, such as heart
conditions, chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also
applies to those who live with or care for these people.
Find out if you or someone you know is at a high risk for severe illness
and should follow these increased precautions.
