NEW YORK, THE CORONAVIRUS

SPREADS TONIGHT AS GOVERNOR

CUOMO ANNOUNCES 5 MORE

POSITIVE CASES IN NEW YORK.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS THERE ARE 11

PEOPLE NOW INFECTED.

10 OF THOSE CASES STEM FROM

THE SAME ATTORNEY FROM

WESTCHESTER COUNTY WHO TESTED

POSITIVE THIS WEEK.

THE OTHER IS THE FIRST

IDENTIFIED CASE, A WOMAN WHO'S

A HEALTH CARE WORKER WHO

TRAVELED TO IRAN AND LIVES IN

THE CITY.

WE'VE ALSO JUST LEARNED A NEW

YORK CITY SCHOOLTEACHER HAS

SELF-QUARANTINED AT HER HOME

AFTER SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF THE

VIRUS.

HER TEST RESULTS ARE PENDING.

AND THIS JUST IN, SCHOOLS IN

THE HASTINGS ON HUDSON

DISTRICT IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY

WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW AND

FRIDAY, SO ALL OF THE

BUILDINGS CAN BE SANITIZED.

ALL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES WILL BE

CANCELED UNTIL MONDAY

MARCH 9th.

WE'RE TOLD THEY'RE DOING THIS

OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF

CAUTION.

HAZEL SANCHEZ IS LIVE IN NEW

ROCHELLE WITH EVERYTHING WE

NEED TO KNOW TONIGHT.

REPORTER: YES, DANA, MORE

AND MORE TESTS ARE BEING DONE

ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD CLOSE

CONTACT WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE

THE CORONAVIRUS.

WE'RE TALKING CLASSMATES,

ROOMMATES, CO-WORKERS,

FRIENDS.

HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THEY

EXPECT THE NUMBER OF

CORONAVIRUS CASES TO GROW, BUT

THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY

CAN TO LIMIT THE SPREAD.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY IS

EXPERIENCING A CORONAVIRUS

SPREAD.

NOW 2 FAMILIES HAVE TESTED

POSITIVE FOR THE DISEASE, BUT

THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE IS ASKING

RESIDENTS NOT TO PANIC.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO

CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS TO A

VIRUS, BUT WE CAN CONTROL THE

SPREAD OF MISINFORMATION AND

FEAR.

REPORTER: THE FIRST IN

WESTCHESTER COUNTY TO CONTRACT

THE DISEASE WAS A 52-YEAR-OLD

LAWYER, ALSO HIS WIFE, HIS

21-YEAR-OLD SON, AND

14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

PLUS A NEIGHBOR WHO DROVE HIM

TO THE HOSPITAL.

LATE THIS AFTERNOON, GOVERNOR

CUOMO SAYS ANOTHER FRIEND AND

HIS WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN HAVE

ALL TESTED POSITIVE AS WELL.

EVERYONE IS ORDERED TO

SELF-QUARANTINE.

HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE MAKING

SURE THEY STAY HOME.

WE MAY CALL OR SKYPE THEM.

IT DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL OF

SECURITY REQUIRED.

REPORTER: YOUNG ISRAEL OF

NEW ROCHELLE AND SEVERAL OTHER

SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED UNTIL NEXT

WEEK WITH SOME STUDENTS BEING

ASKED TO SELF-QUARANTINE.

SOME STUDENTS WHO HAD CLOSE

CONTACT WITH ONE OF THE

INFECTED CHILDREN ARE BEING

TESTED.

AND A NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC

SCHOOLTEACHER WAS ORDERED TO

SELF-QUARANTINE AFTER SHE

EXPERIENCED CORONAVIRUS

SYMPTOMS AFTER A TRIP TO ITALY

IN A SEPARATE CASE.

RIGHT NOW THE MOST

IMPORTANT THING IS THAT

TEACHER IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH

STUDENTS AND WON'T BE UNTIL

IT'S SAFE TO DO SO.

REPORTER: THE DEPARTMENT OF

EDUCATION SAYS THIS TEACHER

FOLLOWED PROTOCOL AND DIDN'T

COME TO SCHOOL ONCE DEVELOPING

SYMPTOMS, BUT THAT WAS AFTER

THE TEACHER REPORTEDLY SPENT

DAYS IN THE CLASSROOM WITH HER

STUDENTS AFTER RETURNING FROM

A WINTER VACATION.

IF SHE TESTS POSITIVE, HER

STUDENTS WILL BE TESTED AS A

PRECAUTION.

WE ALL AGREE I THINK THAT

CLOSING SCHOOLS IS THE LAST

OPTION.

REPORTER: THE UNITED

FEDERATION OF TEACHERS TELLS

US THIS AFTERNOON A HANDFUL OF

MEMBERS HAVE REACHED OUT TO

US, AND WE URGE THOSE THAT

TRAVELED TO AN INFECTED AREA

AND HAVE SYMPTOMS TO GET

IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SO THE NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC

SCHOOLTEACHER BEING TESTED FOR

CORONAVIRUS, WELL THE

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WOULD

NOT TELL US WHERE SHE WORKS

BUT DID TELL US THAT EVERY

SINGLE NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC

SCHOOL WILL BE DEEP CLEANED

WITH CDC APPROVED CLEANING

PRODUCTS TWICE A WEEK AS A

PRECAUTION.

LIVE IN NEW ROCHELLE TONIGHT,

HAZEL SANCHEZ, CBS 2 NEWS.

HAZEL, THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A LOT MORE INFORMATION
