New York City's COVID Clusters

WNYC News | Sep 29, 2020

New York City schools are opening up for in-person learning this week and indoor dining starts Wednesday. So the news that the city's daily coronavirus positivity rate has increased to over 3% is alarming many New Yorkers. The increase is clustered in nine zip codes in New York City — which account for about 7% of the city's population.

Gothamist senior editor Liz Kim explains what this means, and what the city is doing about it.
