ALBANY – The National Guard has been deployed to New Rochelle as Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered schools, houses of worship and other large gathering places in a portion of the city to temporarily close, marking New York's latest attempt to stop the spread of one of the country's worst novel coronavirus clusters.

Cuomo announced a plan Tuesday to enforce a "containment area" of a one-mile radius around the Young Israel synagogue at the center of the cluster, which includes part of the city of New Rochelle and stretches into the town of Eastchester, both of which are about 20 miles north of New York City in Westchester County.

Any large gathering places within that containment area will be required to shut down through March 25, Cuomo said.

That includes Young Israel and several public and private schools, including three each from the New Rochelle and Tuckahoe school districts.

Meanwhile, a Yonkers Raceway horse trainer and mainstay in the paddock who lived in Bergen County is New Jersey’s first coronavirus death, state officials said Tuesday.

He was identified as John Brennan, 69. Health officials said Brennan had several underlying medical conditions, including emphysema, diabetes and hypertension, and had been hospitalized at Hackensack University Medical Center last Friday. He suffered a heart attack Monday night and was revived, but died Tuesday morning after going into cardiac arrest again.

The racetrack was closed Tuesday.

But Westchester remains at the epicenter of New York state’s coronavirus outbreak, with the county seeing 108 confirmed cases as of Tuesday afternoon. That accounted for 62% of the state’s total cases and about 13% of the total across the entire U.S.

Cuomo called those numbers "breathtaking." The National Guard will help residents under precautionary quarantine and help disinfect public areas, he said.

"One mile is a fairly constrained area," Cuomo said. "It is dramatic action but it is the largest cluster in the country and this is literally a matter of life and death. That's not an overly rhetorical statement."
