Get tested. Wear a mask. Practice social distancing. This CAN and WILL help us get these clusters under control. http://nyc.gov/covidtest 

We CANNOT afford to backslide in the fight against COVID-19. We have sent mobile testing sites to neighborhoods where we’ve seen an increase in cases. We’ve also expanded our rapid testing capacity in affected areas.https://twitter.com/NYCMayorsOffice/status/1311362674693795840 …

Now let’s get down to brass tacks, and how to move forward. Impacted Brooklynites will automatically be sent new ballot packages. These are legitimate to use for those that want to vote by mail.

After humiliating himself last night, Trump has decided to refocus on cheating the American vote. This is yet another lie, and blatant attempt to suppress the vote. He’s scared he can’t win fairly, so he’s doubling down on cheating. New Yorkers, VOTE. We know what’s at stake.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1311328767395205124 …

2. @BOENYC will mail all impacted voters a new absentee ballot and oath envelope. If you do not receive a corrected ballot from BOE, contact them at Apply4Absentee@boe.nyc or 1-866-VOTE-NYC.

1. Everyone should make sure their correct name and address are printed on the oath envelope (smaller envelope that you sign). If it is incorrect, DO NOT USE IT.

It’s unacceptable that voters in Brooklyn are receiving absentee ballots with incorrect oath envelopes. The @BOENYC must do better. This is a critically important election, and all absentee voters need to know:

We’re fighting an invisible enemy. Just because you can’t see the virus doesn’t mean it isn’t a threat. Keep fighting back against COVID-19. Keep doing what works: •Avoid large gatherings, especially indoors. •Wear face coverings. •Practice social distancing.

The Department of Education has standards put in place to keep our kids safe. Starting today, any nonpublic school or childcare center that does not follow these rules will be CLOSED.

Beginning TODAY the City will issue fines to anyone who refuses to wear a face covering in public. Unless you have a medical exemption, there’s no reason to not wear one.

Testing is FREE and how we get the most accurate picture. If you haven’t been tested, now is the time. If you haven’t gotten tested in a while, get tested again: http://nyc.gov/covidtest 

Every New Yorker should get tested for COVID-19, especially if you live in any of those 9 zip codes.

We have seen very concerning COVID-19 numbers in Brooklyn and Queens. We’re taking immediate action and have been sending additional resources to these communities. We have come too far to risk our progress now.https://twitter.com/nychealthy/status/1310680911025967106 …
