City Council Speaker Corey Johnson on Sunday joined the call for a shutdown of non-essential services across New York to fight the coronavirus — reversing a position he held less than a week ago as the situation has spiraled.

“All non-essential services must be closed, including bars and restaurants,” said Johnson (D-Manhattan) in a statement.

“We should keep essentials like grocery stores, bodegas, pharmacies, and banks open,” continued Johnson. “And restaurants that can make deliveries should be able to stay open to provide delivery service for New Yorkers.”

The call marked a stark change of course from a statement Johnson released on Wednesday, in which he said, “I am not calling for New York City to be shut down.”

Since, the number of confirmed cases across the five boroughs has surged to 329, City Comptroller Scott Stringer on Sunday issued his own call for a large-scale city shutdown and Mayor Bill de Blasio has admitted mulling such a step.

Johnson on Sunday additionally called for measures to keep both small businesses and individual New Yorkers above water until the worst of the contagion passes.

“Businesses have costs that need to be covered no matter what — rent, utilities, loan payments, insurance and taxes,” he said. “We need to help them stay afloat.

“The City needs to do what it can immediately, including suspending payment of fees, penalties, and taxes.”

Added Johnson of affected employees, “Bar workers, independent contractors, domestic workers, gig economy employees, and other types of workers who don’t have solid benefits and who are going to be impacted the most during this time need cash. Government needs to step in and make this happen.”

Johnson also reiterated his support for the closure of city schools — a step de Blasio has fiercely resisted — and called for childcare to be provided to health-care workers on the front lines of the contagion.

As of Sunday, three New Yorkers have died and 729 are infected statewide, with nearly half of them in the five boroughs.

“We as New Yorkers need to come together for the common good,” said Johnson. “We need to do this, or we’ll do it later after the damage is much worse.

“This is a difficult time and the only way we’ll get through it is together.”
