A one-mile containment area is now in effect in New Rochelle, a city of nearly 80,000 people where more than 120 of New York’s 240 coronavirus cases have been reported.

The National Guard was seen handing out food and supplies to residents on Thursday morning as the containment efforts began.

The area will remain on lockdown for the next two weeks, affecting all ‘major gathering places’ including schools and places of worship.
