The US has been the nation hardest hit by the coronavirus, with nearly 800,000 cases as of April 21, and New York has been at the epicentre of the pandemic in the country. The outbreak has laid bare New York’s divide between rich and poor areas, as seen in numbers of confirmed cases and deaths. RT Documentary's correspondent Anastasia Trofimova spoke to New Yorkers from three different neighbourhoods to hear how the pandemic has affected them. Self-isolated white-collar employees in Brooklyn, funeral home workers in Elmhurst, Queens, and a mother from Mount Vernon in Westchester County share their very different perspectives on Covid-19 in New York.
