NYC orders mandatory coronavirus testing for public workers
New York City will order some public workers to get tested for coronavirus, and force them into quarantine if they refuse, according to an order issued Thursday by the city health department.
And for the first time, the city is now asking all New Yorkers who have returned from at-risk countries — China, Iran, Italy, South Korea and Japan — to quarantine themselves for 14 days.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said mandatory testing for public workers — first responders, teachers and health care workers — will be triggered in cases where people have symptoms of the virus, have traveled to high-risk countries or had contact with others who are infected.
