Updated: See the list of food sites in Syracuse for kids 18 or younger.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon says all schools will shut at 4 p.m. today after the first case of coronavirus in the county was confirmed this morning.

More information will come out about food pickup sites later today, he said. Some will open on Tuesday.

“We have to take care of our vulnerable,” he said.

According to the Syracuse City School District, the pickup sites inside the city will be open from 10 a.m. to noon. Breakfast and lunch will be available. The meals in Syracuse are available for kids 18 and younger, even if they are not students in the district.

There will also be opportunities to volunteer to bag and make meals through the United Way and the Food Bank of CNY, McMahon said. Those details are also forthcoming, he said.

“We’re planning and preparing for every scenario,” he said. “We are in front of this."

Providing food for children and daycare for first responders and medical staff are the priorities, McMahon said. He said he’s asking districts that the community made need school districts’ health workers.

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh said the city school district will set up a number of sites where parents and children can pick up meals. In some cases, he said, food will be delivered.

“The food preparation is in place,” he said.

It’s possible the county and districts could work with area restaurants to come up with the nutrition plans, for both school-aged children and the elderly, McMahon said.

McMahon said even the most affluent school district in Onondaga County has 15 percent of its kids who rely on free and reduced lunches. In some county districts, that rate is more than 50 percent, he said.

“By law, we still have to provide these lunches,” he said.

McMahon continued to urge calm and asked people to help their neighbors rather than hoarding goods.

“Our state is dealing with this very well,” he said. “We are going to get through this.”

McMahon will give another update at noon today.

This is a breaking story; it will be updated.
