Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke with President Donald Trump Sunday night, urging the nation’s leader to act before the strain of the coronavirus overwhelms New York City’s medical facilities.

It also coincided with a statewide stay-at-home order that went into effect at 8 p.m. Sunday reports Patch.

“I appreciate that the president and the vice president had a focused, constructive conversation with me directly to talk about what’s going on, particularly in our public hospitals, which are literally 10 days away from running out of really basic supplies, particularly equipment like ventilators,” the mayor told CNN Sunday night.

” I felt that both the president and vice President heard what I was saying, they heard the details, they talked about specific solutions.”
