After a week with very little guidance, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio announced last night that he would shut down restaurants and bars across the five boroughs, limiting them to takeout and delivery only.
De Blasio joined a growing number of officials who’ve ordered the service industry to shut down most of its operations, including Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti and Washington State governor Jay Inslee.
