<p>The move came as health authorities contended with alarming groups of infections on both sides of the country and scattered cases in between.</p>

<p>Schools, houses of worship and large gathering places will be closed for two weeks in a “containment area” centred in New Rochelle, and the troops will scrub surfaces and deliver food to the zone, which extends a mile in all directions from a point near a synagogue connected to some of the cases, Governor Andrew Cuomo said.</p>

<p>Starting on Thursday for 2 wks, there will be a containment zone with a 1 mile radius around the site of the most cases in New Rochelle. <a href="https://t.co/y4eZDK9zfU">pic.twitter.com/y4eZDK9zfU</a></p>

<p>“It is a dramatic action, but it is the largest cluster of cases in the country,” he said. “The numbers are going up unabated, and we do need a special public health strategy.”</p>

<p>The virus has infected over 700 people in the US and killed at least 27, with one state after another recording its first infections in quick succession.</p>
<p>New Jersey reported its first coronavirus death on Tuesday. Worldwide, nearly 120,000 have been infected and over 4,200 have died.</p>
<p>In California, passengers from the coronavirus-stricken Grand Princess were allowed off the vessel and walked to the bottom of a ramp, where masked officials in yellow protective gear and blue plastic gloves took their temperature and led them to a tent for more screening before they lined up to board a bus.</p>

<p>Authorities said foreign passengers would be flown home, while Americans would be flown or bused to military bases in California, Texas and Georgia for testing and 14-day quarantines.</p>

<p>After days of being forced to idle off the Northern California coast, the ship docked on Monday at Oakland with about 3,500 passengers and crew, including at least 21 who tested positive for the new virus.</p>
<p>The evacuation began on Monday with several hundred people let off the ship, including more than 200 Canadians who were flown to a military base in their country, authorities said.</p>
<p>About 1,100 crew members, 19 of whom tested positive for the virus, will be quarantined and treated aboard the ship, which will dock elsewhere after passengers are unloaded, Governor Gavin Newsom said.</p>
<p>He and Oakland’s mayor sought to reassure people that no passengers would be exposed to the public before completing quarantine.</p>
