Exatamente 100 dias depois de o primeiro caso de coronavírus ser confirmado na cidade de Nova York, alguns funcionários começaram a voltar ao trabalho nesta segunda-feira (8), na primeira fase de reabertura do isolamento municipal adotado para combater a epidemia que já matou quase 22 mil de seus moradores.

Pessoas que passaram meses em casa embarcaram em trens do metrô e em ônibus agora que a cidade mais populosa dos Estados Unidos iniciou sua jornada rumo a uma esperada recuperação econômica.

"Este é claramente o lugar mais difícil da América para chegar a este momento porque somos o epicentro", disse o prefeito, Bill de Blasio, em uma coletiva de imprensa no estaleiro da Marinha no Brooklyn.

A cidade de Nova York, de longe a cidade mais atingida dos EUA, registrou nesta segunda-feira que a taxa de pessoas que tiveram teste positivo de coronavírus atingiu uma nova baixa de 3%, bem abaixo da taxa máxima para a reabertura, de 15%, disse De Blasio.

Enquanto cerca de 400 mil trabalhadores voltavam para 32 mil canteiros de obras, centros de atacado e manufatura e alguns pontos atacadistas de toda a metrópole, o prefeito os exortou a usar máscaras e preservar o distanciamento social para manter os casos de covid-19 em tendência de baixa — particularmente aqueles que usam o transporte público para ir para o emprego.

"Sabemos que a reabertura significará que as pessoas estarão perto umas das outras, precisamos nos ater a isso", disse De Blasio.

Máscaras gratuitas e gel antisséptico estavam sendo distribuídos por 800 agentes de segurança escolar de plantão em estações do metrô, acrescentou.

Para aumentar o espaçamento entre os passageiros, a cidade abrirá 20 milhas de novas rotas de ônibus entre junho e outubro, disse Blasio.
