    Efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus have completely altered the usual New Yorker way of life, grinding the "city that never sleeps" to a halt in the last week after it became one of the nation’s epicenters for the fast-spreading coronavirus. | Above: A woman walks through a lightly trafficked Times Square in New York Image Credit: AP

    Nearly 2,000 people have been hospitalised in the state with the virus and 114 have died, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Sunday. More than 15,000 have tested positive statewide, including 9,000 in New York City. | Above: A pedestrian walks her dog through a quiet street, in the Brooklyn borough of New York Image Credit: AP

    A desolate Times Square still lit up with no one on the streets. The usually bustling Grand Central Terminal empty, except for a lone traveler. Only a few people snapping selfies on the Brooklyn Bridge, instead of the horde of commuters and tourists that usually venture across the iconic span. | Above: A police officer walks across an empty 7th Avenue in a sparsely populated Times Square Image Credit: AP
