New York City is suspending 24-hour subway service to disinfect subway cars overnight.

"They can disinfect all trains and buses every night," Cuomo said at a news briefing. "It can best be done by stopping train service from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. every night during the pandemic so they can actually perform this service."

"If you're not going back and forth all night on a train, then you're actually coming above ground where outreach workers are there to help you, where NYPD officers trained in homeless outreach are there to support homeless people and get them to a better situation," de Blasio said.The coronavirus can survive on surfaces for hours and sometimes days, depending on the material,

The MTA will also disinfect the Metro North line and the Long Island Rail Road, Cuomo said, adding that this can be done without disruption to service.
