A Roosevelt Island resident asks this morning:

Covid and RI

Is RIOC or anyone keeping track of when RI gets its first case, or self quarantine on the island? Do we have resources?

I asked Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC ) President Susan Rosenthal:

Roosevelt Island community members are asking if there are any cases of residents or workers who have tested positive for Coronavirus to date.

Part of reason for asking is an attempt to help those who may be in self quarantine to get food and other necessities.

Does RIOC know of any residents or workers testing positive for Coronavirus?

Would RIOC be told by NYC or NY State if there were?

Will report when answer received from RIOC.
