New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is expected to give an update on the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic on Wednesday, hours after New York City’s subway system — the nation’s largest — started a historic overnight shutdown. Service was curtailed in late March, but is now being stopped entirely from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. each day for train cleaning.
It’s the first time in 115 years service hasn’t been 24/7 except in times of emergency, and Governor Andrew Cuomo said there’s no way to know when service will return to normal, notes CBS New York.
