We can confirm there are 16 new COVID-19 cases as of March 10th, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in New York City to 36.
Anyone leaving our city by ship will be screened before boarding.
Anyone with a temperature over 100.4 will not be allowed to board.
So far there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 but our teams are in continual contact with homeless New Yorkers and are prepared to help them come in if they experience any symptoms.
I want to be clear here: there is NO health risk in giving blood during this crisis.
