JAKARTA - The winter storm that hit the United States in recent days has caused at least 10 deaths in New York City.
"At least 10 New Yorkers have tragically lost their lives after being found outdoors," said Mayor Zohran Mamdani, as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Wednesday, January 28.
According to him, the relevant authorities have not yet found out whether each death case is related to hypothermia.
The mayor urged all residents to be vigilant and pay attention to their neighbors.
"New York City is still in a blue code status, which means we are increasing outreach efforts, conducting inspections all the time, and easing the procedures for receiving shelters to accommodate as many New Yorkers as possible," he said.
Mamdani said his party had placed 170 homeless people in a number of shelters.
The New York Post on Monday (26/1) reported that a snowstorm had claimed 26 lives across the US.
