COVID-19, more commonly referred to as coronavirus, is, first and foremost, a public health emergency. But it's also affecting virtually every aspect of New Yorkers' day-to-day lives: mass transit, local politics, big business, small business, large meetings, sporting events and Broadway shows have all been impacted by the virus.
