"For a business that can allow more employees to telecommute, we want you to do that," he said at a press briefing. "We simply want to reduce the number of people on mass transit just to open up some more space." De Blasio, detailing a plan to contain the virus, said nurses are being deployed to "every public school building" this week, to help identify cases sooner in the event of an outbreak at any school. "All public schools will have nurses this week that don't have them currently," he said, adding that schools are regularly being supplied with soap and paper towels.
Small businesses with up to 100 employees may be eligible for zero-interest loans of up to $75,000 if they can document a 25% or more drop in sales in recent weeks, he said.
