New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio Goes To The Gym Before Non-Essential Businesses Close Down

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio worked out at his Brooklyn YMCA in New York.

The workout came before New York State announced that most non-essential businesses close.

According to Business Insider, the precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The New York City government recommended residents remain in their home except for essential activities.

These include grocery shopping, medical services and work, but definitely not the gym.
