Robocall update from Mayor Noam Bramson:

This is the City of New Rochelle, with a public health update for March 14th.  Here’s what’s new for today:

We have received reports of some businesses outside our city refusing to serve New Rochelle residents, and that’s outrageous, so we are teaming up with Westchester County to protect our rights.  If you have been improperly denied service or been the victim of an unconscionable or deceptive trade practice relating to the coronavirus or the so-called containment zone, then contact the Westchester County Consumer Protection Department by calling 914-995-2155 or sending an email to conpro@westchestergov.com.

Now, a reminder on previously reported information:

To request a coronavirus test, be sure either to contact your doctor or call the State hotline at 888-364-3065.

Large gatherings are still restricted in the Wykagyl area, but except for individuals subject to quarantine, residents are free to come and go, and businesses are open, with free parking at all metered spaces.

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities remain off-limits to visitors.

To access municipal services online or find other updated information, including common sense public health guidelines, please visit newrochelleny.com/coronavirus.

Thank you to all the residents, not-for-profit organizations, community and spiritual leaders who are working together to meet this challenge, and proving every day that New Rochelle is a strong and resilient city. Additional information will follow as needed.
