“We are making incremental solutions when we should be ripping the Band-Aid off,” Mr. Johnson said on the Brian Lehrer radio show on WNYC on Tuesday.

“It cannot happen,” Mr. Cuomo said in a briefing 15 minutes later. “No city in the state can quarantine itself without state approval, and I have no interest whatsoever and no plan whatsoever to quarantine any city.”
Mr. Cuomo said any move to implement a quarantine would be “statewide, comprehensive,” but that there was none in the works.
