White House Coronavirus Task Force Announces Community Mitigation Strategies For New Rochelle, NY | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    The White House Coronavirus Task Force today recommended 30-day mitigation strategies for New Rochelle, NY due to widespread transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). These mitigation activities are designed to address the effects of COVID-19 on areas that are experiencing community spread.

    "President Trump has made clear that the Task Force must move decisively to protect the health and safety of the American people," said Vice President Mike Pence. "These recommendations outline a whole-of-community approach to immediately minimize the impacts of coronavirus in this area. I look forward to the continued partnership between the Task Force and State and local leaders."

    Earlier today, Vice President Pence spoke with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo about these community mitigation strategies. The Task Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have worked closely with state and local leaders in New York and around the Nation to develop these strategies. Additionally, CDC has teams in these areas working with public health partners to respond to the situation on the ground.

    Cooperation with communities, businesses, and healthcare organizations is necessary to implement extensive community mitigation activities with the goal of protecting:

  • Individuals at risk for severe illness, including persons with underlying health conditions including immune suppression and especially seniors with underlying health conditions;
  • The healthcare workforce; and
  • Critical infrastructure workforces.

    Due to widespread community transmission of COVID-19 in these communities, examples of mitigation strategies for these areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Individuals should practice protective measures (e.g., hand washing);
  • Schools should conduct regular health checks of students, staff, and visitors;
  • Senior living facilities should implement social distancing measures;
  • Workplaces should encourage staff to telework and expand sick leave policies;
  • Community and faith-based organizations should move gatherings of any size to video-accessible venues or postpone/cancel; and
  • Healthcare facilities should implement triage before entering facilities.

    In making these recommendations, the Task Force considered guidance from multiple Federal agencies, including technical advice from the CDC. These community mitigation strategies are recommended for 30 days, after which local and state public health officials, in coordination with the CDC will reassess the individual community situations.
