Amid Covid surge, New York City subway forced to cut back service
CNN
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which is responsible for managing the New York City region's public transit, announced that there will be fewer trains running this week due to the Covid-19 surge in New York.
The schedule change for Monday to Thursday comes from a shortage of workers due to Covid-19. "By reducing scheduled service, we're able to re-allocate train crews where they're needed, rather than cancel individual trips," the NYCT Subway Twitter account said in a series of tweets Sunday afternoon.
New York broke a single-day record for new Covid-19 cases on Christmas Eve, hitting 49,708 reported cases according to data from the Governor's office.
