The new New York City Mayor Eric Adams appeared on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.
New York City's new mayor, Eric Adams, who was sworn in on New Year's Eve, discussed the challenges that lie ahead for the city with the current surge of COVID-19 cases.
"COVID is a formidable opponent and it continues to evolve, and we must pivot and evolve with it, but you can't do it viewing yourself from within the crisis," Adams told anchor George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "We have to see ourselves past the crisis."
Adams continued with a dire message about closing New York City.
"If we close down our city, it is as dangerous as COVID," Adams said. "That's what our focus must be. So that proper balance of safety [and] keeping our economy operated is going to allow us to get through."
