Coronavirus outbreak: ‘Not going to be allowing these gatherings, in any community’ says De Blasio on Rabbi funeral

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio commented on Wednesday after police went to the funeral Tuesday evening of Rabbi Chaim Mertz, who died from COVID-19. Police said more than 2,500 people were in attendance. “I have a lot of love for the community. The notion that people would gather in large numbers, and even if they didn’t mean to would spread a disease that will kill other members of that community is just unacceptable to me,” De Blasio said.
