I found all these by googling & following leads to links using the following search terms:
New York City health department
New York City coronavirus
Also...
Search Twitter for your city council members, but esp. follow:
@MarkLevineNYC
Chair of New York City Council health committee.
Representing District 7, Uptown Manhattan (Washington Heights, West Harlem, UWS).
En español y בעברית.
[He was off base at 1st but is now in line]
On Facebook: New York City Health Department

So much more you can find by searching various social media with logical search terms. On Twitter you just may get a response from various departments/individuals [more likely their assistants] to queries
Good luck! Hope this helps people find what they need.
Best wishes
