By Staff
Jan. 13 2021: Below is the local Covid-19 Report for this week.
According to the Westchester County Covid-19 Dashboard, there are 72 active Covid-19 cases in Bronxville. This is over 5x the number of active cases in Bronxville on December 22, 2020.
In a call to the community from Mayor Marvin and Bronxville Chief of Police Christopher Satriale on January 12, the Chief expressed frustration and concern that some of these cases are young adults and that "a large gathering on New Years eve of young adults has contributed to the dangerous situation that we now face.” Because of rising cases, the Bronxville High School, which has a hybrid learning model, went to 100% remote learning for this week.
The Chief urged parents to "keep their children at home and ensure proper distancing and hygiene. We are in a dangerous period in time and desperately need your cooperation”
The number of cases in nearby communities has also continued to increase.
