New York quiets to slow virus as state becomes next hot spot

NEW YORK - No more play dates, no more picnics in the park with friends, no more pickup games of basketball. No more commuting or using public transport - unless absolutely essential. New York implemented dramatic restrictions Sunday in an attempt to slow a pandemic that has swept across the globe and threatened to make the state one of the world's biggest coronavirus hot spots.

As infections soar - or in anticipation that they will - officials worldwide warned of a critical shortage of medical supplies. Spain was erecting a field hospital in a convention center, British health workers pleaded for more gear, saying they felt like "cannon fodder," and President Donald Trump ordered mobile hospital centers be sent to Washington, California and New York.
