What New York looks like after 4 months of quarantine: amazing shots of the city

Quarantine in New York has been going on for more than four months. Today, the metropolis still looks deserted, and the windows of luxury shops are clogged with plywood due to protests. In this publication we will tell (and show) what a city looks like today that never sleeps.

When the coronavirus pandemic swept New York in March, many did not believe the situation was serious enough. Crowds gradually disappeared from the streets of New York, access to popular attractions was restricted, department stores were closed. But even then there were many skeptics who did not believe that coronavirus existed in principle.

Not much time passed, after which it became clear: everything is serious, but quarantined for a sufficiently long period.

Later quarantine effects almost all the inhabitants of the city could feel on themselves (those who had the opportunity to leave the metropolis probably felt less impact of the restrictions associated with it).

Today, the metropolis is still quarantined. The restrictions affected all areas of business that were not considered vital, which affected the appearance of the city. Restaurants, for a long time only delivered products to customers and sold food with them. Recently, they were able to open summer areas, so that citizens have more places to relax in the fresh air.

However, many luxury boutiques located in different parts of the Big Apple are still forced to remain closed. Most of the windows are protected by plywood - the effects of protests that swept across America, including New York, after the death of African-American George Floyd.

Here's what Gotham looks like these days.

There are far fewer people on the streets than usual.

There are few cars on the road.

The windows of shops, hotels and other businesses are crammed with plywood sheets - apparently the business is still afraid of looters.
