VOICED : El metro de Nueva York se detiene en la noche, síntoma de una ciudad enferma

The NYC subway, a system that never closes, has been shut down overnight for the first time since 1904 to disinfect against COVID-19. This unprecedented move aims to eliminate the virus from 6,500 subway cars. The pandemic has drastically reduced subway usage, with a 90% drop in passengers. Alternative transportation is provided for essential workers, while the closure also encourages the homeless to seek shelters. Despite these measures, subway workers face significant health risks, with 109 employees having died from the virus. NYC remains the epicenter of the pandemic in the U.S., with no end in sight for lockdown measures.
