Gov. Andrew Cuomo said President Trump’s floating of a possible quarantine of New York “really panicked people,” Axios reports.
He suggested many likely fled the New York area — possibly spreading the virus further.
Said Cuomo: “People are so on edge. I mean, it really panicked people. They were going to leave the city last night. So, you need to manage that fear and panic.”
