The NYPD dished out dozens of summonses for lax social-distancing in city parks on Saturday as cooped-up New Yorkers emerged from coronavirus quarantine to soak up the sun, Commissioner Dermot Shea said.
“In parks specifically yesterday, we issued 43 summonses,” Shea said Sunday in a joint press briefing with Mayor Bill de Blasio.
An additional eight summonses were issued outside of parks for a total of 51, said Shea, who noted that while “not every single one” of the write-ups was for failing to maintain a social distance “the majority were.”
Three arrests were made citywide, the top cop continued, though he didn’t specify the exact circumstances.
The flurry of summonses notwithstanding, both de Blasio and Shea stressed that most city dwellers are doing their part by keeping a wide berth.
“The vast majority of New Yorkers are following the rules,” said de Blasio.
Added Shea, “I would just reiterate that we had tens of thousands of interactions with people all across the city yesterday, most of them without having to issue any type of enforcement activity, whether it’s a summons or arrest.
“New Yorkers are exhibiting extreme patience for the last few months. We’re going to ask for a little more of it.”
