A joint statement from state Senator Brad Hoylman; U.S. Congressman Jerry Nadler; state Assembly members Deborah Glick, Dick Gottfried, Linda Rosenthal; and City Council Member Erik Bottcher called for Mayor Eric Adams to declare a state of emergency. "A state and local declaration of emergency will help facilitate disaster response efforts by cutting the red tape standing in the way of effective and speedy distribution of testing, treatment, and vaccines," the statement said. "For example, the declaration could expedite approval processes for new testing and treatment, as well as procurement and contracting processes necessary to provide testing, treatment, and vaccines to New Yorkers.
