New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a curfew would start Monday night in an effort to quell the violence and destruction that have taken place in the city as the result of protests that have taken place since Friday.

The two made the decision Monday afternoon after the governor said during his morning COVID-19 briefing that he would speak to the mayor about the situation. At that time, he said while curfews had been effective elsewhere in the state, they were not “a silver bullet.”
