New York City mayor calls for complying with COVID-19 restrictions against possible 2nd wave


By Xia Lin

NEW YORK, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio late Monday defended the city's recent restriction policies and called on people to continue to comply with them as a precaution against a possible second wave of COVID-19, which has cost the Big Apple a lot.

"It's a different situation. We've been through different realities in this crisis, but this is the first time we've had a resurgence. And one of the things I feel strongly is we cannot let this resurgence grow into a full blown second wave in New York City," said the mayor while being interviewed in Inside City Hall, a local show for political newsmakers, pundits and consultants from the city and beyond to express views and standpoints about current affairs.
