The governor of New York is calling for a containment zone around one of the U.S. epicenters of the coronavirus, Westchester County and the city of New Rochelle.

Scarsdale Public Schools have been closed because a staff member tested positive for coronavirus.

More than 4,500 children have been told to stay home, but also to limit their contact with other people. 

Schools will be closed until at least March 18.

CGTN talked to some elementary students who are just fine with staying home.
