Background reading:
- Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York created a “containment zone” in New Rochelle last week, hoping to curb the spread of the virus in “the single most troubling area in the state.” Soon after, the National Guard arrived to help implement the measures.
- New York is among about 10 states that have set up drive-through testing centers, as state and local leaders try to figure out how to safely screen more people.
