New York State Governor Kathy Huchul declared a state of emergency, due to the rise in new infections with the Corona virus, amid fears of an outbreak of the new mutated strain of the virus called “omicron”, according to “Newsweek” magazine.
And Cathy Hochul wrote, in a tweet on her official page on the “Twitter” website: “The New York Health Authority has not detected the new “Omicron” strain, but we are on high alert.”
And she added that under the state of emergency, the authorities are working to increase the capacity of hospitals in New York and support vaccination efforts to prevent the spread of the new strain.
The governor also noted that New York health authorities are cooperating closely with both national and international health authorities to track the spread of the virus.
"We will continue to actively monitor virus samples, and we are working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization to closely follow developments," she added.
Developments come amid fears that the decision will negatively affect the state's economic activities, according to observers, especially since New York is the center of finance and business and a forum for businessmen from all over the world.
In addition, the state has three publicly traded real estate investment trusts focused on the commercial real estate market. It also provides liquidity, diversification and an affordable way for investors to gain exposure to one of the world's most dynamic real estate markets. It also pays dividends to shareholders and offers potential capital appreciation to moderate long-term investors.
It is worth noting that the United States closed its borders to travelers from eight countries in southern Africa after detecting the “Omicron” mutant, also known as “B.1.1.529”, which was first discovered in South Africa, and was described by the World Health Organization as one of the “variables.” worrisome.”
From next Monday, individuals from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi will be prohibited from entering the US territory. This decision does not apply to US citizens, but they will be required to test negative before they come.
It is noteworthy that America leads the number of confirmed cases of corona, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, with more than 48.1 million injuries.
