Zohran Mamdani: “The number of New Yorkers who have passed away during this…”

“Outreach teams have traversed the city making every possible effort to bring vulnerable and homeless New Yorkers in from the cold. We have now made more than 980 placements into shelters and safe havens since Monday the 19th. The number of New Yorkers who have passed away during this code Blue remains at 16. That does not mean that the danger, however, has passed. If you see someone in need, please call 31 1.” (12:29–12:34)
