The fast-spreading Covid-19 pandemic is pushing New York City closer towards lockdown as the city mayor Bill de Blasio said on Sunday that he would order restaurants, bars and cafes to to only sell food on a take-out or delivery basis. He also said he would order nightclubs, movie theatres, small theatre houses and concert venues to close.

The death toll from Covid-19 rose to 65 in the United States on Sunday, prompting The Fed to cut interest rates to close to zero percent in a bid to stem the crumbling global economy.
