Check If Your Home, School or Business Falls Within a COVID Shutdown Zone

COVID-19 Cluster zones (COVID-19 Zone Finder)

Oct. 8, 2020 By Allie Griffin

City Hall has launched a searchable map where New Yorkers can plug in the address of their home, school, job or favorite local business and find out whether they are located within a COVID shutdown zone.

The city created the “COVID-19 Zone Finder” after Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled a new map Tuesday depicting coronavirus clusters and color-coated zones, where different restrictions apply.

The zone boundaries are based on test results on a granular basis. Therefore the zones focus on streets and blocks–instead of ZIP codes, which are more broadly drawn.

The boundaries have split several neighborhoods into separate zones and caused confusion. Many residents who live and work within the affected areas have been left guessing.

Now, residents can quickly find out which zone they live in by simply typing in their address into the city’s map portal.

The online tool can also help people learn what zone their favorite restaurant is in.

Nonessential businesses in red zones closed today and restaurants within red zones are open for takeout only, under the state regulations.

High risk businesses, like gyms and personal care services, closed in orange zones today, where restaurants are open for outdoor dining only.

Schools in both red and orange zones also closed today if they weren’t already shuttered.

Below is the list of regulations for each color zone. The regulations can also be found on the city’s COVID-19 Zone Finder.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
