we're live in times square and it's so unusual to see times square empty at this hour. what kind of activity are you seeing? is it just people working out there? >> reporter: yeah, good morning. you're absolutely right. we spoke last hour and it was still quiet and that's often the case but right now this is really strange to see. take a look at times square. all you see out here, security people and workers from the times square alliance who keep this area clean and safe during the day. we have seen a couple of tourists straggle through from time to time, but it usually on a nice fairly, you know, decent saturday morning it should be a lot more crowded than this and the one thing that is really striking me is the lack of traffic. by this time of day you usually have a lot more cars coming through this area and i want to show you a look down 46th street here. you can see a line of cabs outside the marriott marquee hotel. those cab byes have no one to pick up right now and if you look further down you mentioned broadway. the world famous richard rogers theater, the hamil

businesses stay closed, so, that's what times square looks like now.f a strange sight. >> kind of eerie. >> certainly is, no question about it. >>> we do want to get to some of the headlines we're following here. first, the coronavirus pandemic growing. more than 20% of the u.s. population has now been ordered to stay at home. more states shutting down. nonessential businesses telling everyone to stay put. there are now more than 275,000 diagnosed cases around the globe. more than 19,000 of those are here in the u.s. >>> also right now, tax extension, treasury secretary steven mnuchin announcing because of the coronavirus pandemic this year's tax deadline will be extended. taxpayers now have until july 15th to file. that is three months later than the traditional april 15th deadline. >>> and tom brady is officially a buccaneer. the star quarterback announcing he will play for tampa bay next season. the six-time super bowl champ spent 20 seasons with the new england patriots. i'm on a text chain with a lot of my high school buddies and grew up in the bo

here in times square, you would normally see a bustle of people all around, but these are not normal times. in fact, at this hour, the governor has said that all nonessential businesses that hadn't closed yet, like barbershops and nail salons, they've got to shut down too. it's all designed to slow the spread of the coronavirus. the governor said that more people, as you pointed out, are testing positive, but he says it's because more people are being tested. take a listen. >> we are taking more tests in new york than anyplace else. we're taking more tests per capita than china or south korea. we're also taking more tests than any state in the united states of america. >> reporter: the governor says that 45,000 tests have been given here in new york, and 10,000 -- more than 10,000 have tested positive. and once again new york city is ground zero, this time for the coronavirus. and based on nbc news reporting, city hospitals are now sounding the alarm about a critical shortage of personal protective equipment. but some good news for new york. today the governor said that a million mask

cnn's erica hill joins us now from time square. so, erica, trading floor of the new york stock exchange going to be closing on monday. i mean, that's almost unheard of. >> it -- it's historic, to put it mildly. and it's important to -- to point out, as you did at the top, anderson, that while the trading floor will be closed, electronic trading will continue. we haven't seen it shut down -- yes, during world war ii. yes, after 9/11. the reason the floor itself is being closed because two employees tested positive this week. our own alison kosik telling us she said everybody knows her by name. for the first time, they started taking temperature and they started checking temperature as you go in. the exchange is telling us some of those tests, they sent them for further tests and two of the employees, again, have tested positive. >> i view it a as a -- in a sense, a wartime president. i mean, that's what we're fighting. >> the president and i agree this is a war. and we're in the same trench. >> as new york announces at least 2,300 c

normally packed times square is now eerily deserted with no tourists in town and deal kids heeding a government ban on working and socializing in public. a city already in fear knows that the was is still to come. tearing his daily briefing on 3 stay u.s. president donald trump stressed the need to relax guidelines on social distancing and to get america back to work he has the reaction from washington correspondent stephanie. you get a different president trump every day there was a somber very. almost pessimistic trump a few days ago and now everything seems to be on the trajectory of hunky dorey for the president encouraging the thought or at least the idea that in not too long. not too many days he's able to this kind of surgically decides what counties or what states could loosen their their measures in terms of social distancing or shutting down businesses and with that the economy well i have to tell you this is the deadliest day in the u.s. so far with 247 dead right now as well as you mentioned 80000 cases now more 82000 cases almost more than china spain italy this is tenfo

i have some terrible news: times square is not fun, unless you have a fetish for people in urine-soaked elmo costumes. one guy-- one guy who just booked a cruise told reporters tha he doesn't believe the coronavirus is a hoax. he doesn't think fears of it are overhyped. and his girlfriend tried to convince him it was a bad idea. it's your typical boyfriend-girlfriend dynamic. ( as boyfriend ) "look, babe, we made a deal. last week, we went to that art in the park thing you wanted to do, so this week, we go on the death ship. it's fair." here in new york, officials are ramping up the coronavirus response. yesterday, organizers cancelled the new york city half marathon. no word on whether they're going to cancel the second half.

take a look at times square, right now it's bumper-to-bumper traffic but it's slowing the mic flowingtty freely around the city. laces are going quiet and the governor is taking an extra step today to make sure it stays even quieter. effective today businesses must keep 50% of their workers at home but that does include people in the medical field, emergency responders and people who are stocking food and health care products at pharmacies. it's the latest attempt to increase social distancing especially here in new york where we are seeing many people of course having covid-19 more than any other state. >> dana: alex, there has been some confusion and maybe we can clear it up here about a possible shelter in place here for new york? >> we were initially hearing whispers of shelter in place, and the shelter in place simply just wouldn't work. >> shelter in place, you closed on your health care system. if you close down your food system. he closed on transportation system. it depends on how you do it, but you close down all your businesses when you do shelter in place. so that doesn't

during this time when nobody knows when it's going to end. >> thank you so much, my colleague in times squareo to texas next where texans are also under an emergency order that's shut down bars and restaurants. limited the size of gatherings to ten or fewer. my colleague, sam brock, is in richmond, texas, ft. bend county just outside of houston where folks are lining up to get supplies that are no longer available in most stores. sam, i gather they also have access in some cases to testing that they have been unable to get here for several days. >> reporter: david, good afternoon. we are about 30 or 40 minutes outside of houston here in richmond, texas. you mentioned testing supplies. for communities where those things are sparse, and face it, that's most communities right now, what you're looking at over my shoulder is basically rainwaterain d rainwater for people stranded in the desert. this line is groups of people, cars coming from all over this area to get a form of disineffe disineffedisi disineffecttant, diluted bleach. the cars don't just stack up around the corner. if you pan this di
