New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has extended his state-wide stay-at-home order to May 15, and New York City has seen many changes to services and businesses since the preventative order was first given about a month ago.

The city, commonly regarded as the finance capital of the United States, is the country's worst-hit city by the COVID-19 epidemic with more than 140,000 confirmed cases and more than 10,000 deaths so far.

Since the outbreak, the city's subway traffic has plummeted by more than 90 percent, and 83 people who worked with the bus system were lost to COVID-19.
