Subways services will be shut down every night to carry out of disinfection process
To ensure proper disinfection so as to prevent spread of coronavirus the New York City subways will be shut down for four hours every night to disinfect every single car on every single train in its fleet. The subway stations will be closed between 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. every day from May 6 and this may continue until the virus is no longer a threat said MTA. The agency though did not provide an exact date to end this ago it said Governor Cuomo may allow it once 24-hour services are implemented. To compensate for this cancellation of the transport system, MTA will be adding 334 buses, 1168 trips and 37 routes with the bus fare being free.
In the case of workers who cannot depend solely on bus ride alone will be offered with a free ride to home via MTA's partnership with hire care services. The wing responsible for cleaning the subways will be divided into three teams and 500
employees will be assigned to clean each subway car every day. The following are the details on division of labour force to carry out the tasks. Daytime Terminal Car Cleaning: Once a train reaches its final destination the crews will be removing trash, clean spills and biohazards, and spot clean seats, floors, and other surfaces. Also, the trains will be disinfected at terminals during specified times of the day. Overnight Yard Cleaning: Trains that will be in service during daytime and out of service during night time will be receiving a more intense cleaning which includes removal of garbage and graffiti, clean spills and biohazards, mop floors, clean seats cleaning, and disinfect surfaces. Overnight Terminal Car Cleaning: Trains that remain in service at night will receive cleaning that is identical to the yard cleaning except at terminal stations.
The MTA police force and NYPD will be working together to ensure clearance of subway stations every night "to make sure their critical work goes on uninterrupted." Though the increase in cost for overnight staffing is not announced, MTA Chairman Patrick Foye said costs to staff overnight cleaning operations would run hundreds of millions over budget. Transport Workers Union Local 100 President Tony Utano said "exactly the aggressive and dramatic action we wanted to safeguard transit workers worried they could contract the virus from people camped out in the system." The MTA said apart from the time during 9/11 attacks and strikes where the services were cancelled only for a day this is the first time that services are partially or completely shut down due to a health-related situation.

Prezydent Kielc chce szybkiego głosowania nad absolutorium i wotum zaufania.
Prezydent Kielc nie skorzysta z prawa do opóźnienia głosowania nad absolutorium. Bogdan Wenta argumentuje, że dotrzymanie terminów jest tańsze. W tle jest także ocena, kiedy ma większe szanse na pozytywny wynik.
Kilka dni temu informowaliśmy, że przepisy wprowadzone z powodu epidemii koronawirusa zezwalają na przesunięcie terminu głosowania nad absolutorium nawet o 60 dni, czyli do końca sierpnia. Przewodniczący kieleckiej rady miasta Kamil Suchański argumentował, że teraz to od prezydenta Bogdana Wenty zależy, kiedy złoży konieczne dokumenty, by można było zwołać sesję absolutoryjną. Będzie ona połączoną z głosowaniem nad wotum zaufania.
Okazuje się, że Bogdan Wenta nie zamierza opóźniać głosowania. W odpowiedzi na pismo przewodniczącego Suchańskiego informuje, że będzie się starał zachować przyjęty jeszcze przed epidemią harmonogram pracy rady miasta. Zgodnie z nim sesja absolutoryjna powinna się odbyć 25 czerwca. Prezydent Wenta napisał przy tym, że organizacja kolejnej sesji, "jak słusznie zauważa Pan Przewodniczący", oznaczałaby dodatkowe koszty. Wenta wylicza też, że sprawozdanie z wykonania budżetu w 2019 roku jest teraz badane przez biegłego rewidenta oraz już ma pozytywną opinię Regionalnej Izby Obrachunkowej.
