Health And Safety In The Bronx During COVID 2020 Essay

Revised Research Question

In March 2020, Mayor Bill de Blasios office issued new guidance for New Yorkers, closing non-essential businesses and mandating remote learning for students. Essential businesses that remained open had to implement and enforce social distancing rules (NYC, 2020).

How did these COVID-19 lockdown policies implemented by Mayor Bill de Blasio's office between March 2020-September 2020 affect the socio-economic conditions of low-income communities in the Tremont neighborhood of the Bronx? Specifically, what were the consequences of these policies on quality of life, job and housing stability, and access to essential services for the minority Tremont population?
