"People think the end of the world has come and they will never be able to leave their house," Josh Berkowitz, owner of a kosher Asian restaurant in New Rochelle town, described the family. Most of his clients are under closure but have not yet developed symptoms of the deadly virus. The restaurant began to operate in the form of deliveries to the family doors to prevent contact between the employees and the isolates.

As a result of an epidemiological examination, five employees in the attorney's office were examined for fear of being infected, and they were placed in domestic isolation.
