Councilman Mark Gjonaj - Update on the Coronavirus Pandemic - April 10, 2020

Dear Friends: As we are in the midst of the Passover and Easter holidays, the time of renewal and rebirth, we wish you and your families love, peace, health and hope. Although it looks like we have hit the plateau in New York and there are good signs that social distancing is working, hospitalization and ICU rates are stabilizing and ventilator use is lower than projected, we must continue to do our part by staying home to stop the spread and protect our loved ones as well as essential workers and the most vulnerable. I hope this Coronavirus Newsletter Update is helping you and your family with many important services and information. As always, to ensure you receive the best assistance, my office will continue to provide help remotely to residents in the district. Please contact us by phone at (718) 931-1721 or email at MGjonaj@council.nyc.gov. And while I am certain that our city will be stronger in the face of this pandemic, I want to express my condolences to those who have lost family and friends during this time and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who are continuing the fight against the virus. We are thankful for our healthcare workers, first responders and essential employees who put their lives on the line every day to save and protect all of us. We are forever indebted to them. We're all in this together! Sincerely, NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj District 13, Bronx
