Californians ordered to stay home; New York pleads for urgent help to fight coronavirus

LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK : California ordered nearly 40 million people to stay home and New York state on Friday told all non-essential workers to do the same while pleading for more medical personnel and supplies to treat coronavirus cases that could overwhelm hospitals.

New York has 7,102 positive cases, 2,950 of which are new. The hospitalization rate is 18 per cent. Of the state's cases, 4,408 are in New York City, the most populous US city with about 8.5 million people. Part of the Indianapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center was closed for cleaning after new cases of COVID-19 were reported.Psychologists and psychiatrists are beginning to report signs of distress among patients worried about the consequences.Six clinicians interviewed by Reuters say the coronavirus has been the prime focus of virtually all recent therapy sessions.

The governors of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania announced that all barbershops, hair salons, tattoo or parlors and nail salons would be closed as of Saturday. "The president is an absence," de Blasio told MSNBC television."We don't have masks, we don't have ventilators." "The focus needs to be on things that keep the lights on and the gas flowing," said Scott Aaronson, vice president of security and preparedness at the Edison Electric Institute.
