In a move that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called „unprecedented,“ the New York City subway system will begin halting service every night from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. so that trains can be disinfected.
Cuomo announced the decision on Thursday, saying the new policy was needed to help keep essential workers who rely on the city’s subway system safe from the coronavirus. The effort will begin on Wednesday, May 6.
„It is a massive undertaking that we have never done before,“ Cuomo said.
The city’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority is the largest transit system in the United States.
