    From the article:

    New York City officials advised the U.N. diplomatic community on Saturday that the coronavirus has spread widely through the city and could potentially linger as a threat to the health of residents until as late as September, according to four diplomatic sources.

    “Everyone in New York should assume that they have been in contact with COVID 19,” city officials told the foreign delegates,according to a read out of a conference call with New York-based diplomats, which was reviewed by Foreign Policy.
