WHITE PLAINS, NY — About 1,000 people are expected to go into quarantine in Westchester County and the Bronx after a family and neighbor in New Rochelle tested positive for coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a news conference Wednesday afternoon. The number of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus increased to six in New York.

"They will be contacted; between county, state and private organizations they'll be given information on what that means," he said.

The affected people include congregants and attendees at recent events at Young Israel of New Rochelle, eight staffers at New York Presbyterian-Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, students and staff at the SAR Academy in Riverdale, some people at Yeshiva University and members of a hospitalized man's Midtown Manhattan law firm.


They're all on the list of people who may have come in contact with a New Rochelle family with coronavirus: the father, who is hospitalized, his wife, 14-year-old daughter and 20-year-old son; and the neighbor who drove the 50-year-old man to Lawrence Hospital.
