How South Brooklynites are coping with social distancing during coronavirus outbreak
SOUTHERN BROOKLYN — With the coronavirus outbreak closing down schools, restaurants, movie theaters and forcing social distancing, local residents are trying their best to avoid feeling the blues and make the most during dangerous and uncertain circumstances.
Bay Ridge resident and Community Board 10 member Brian Kaszuba, who works at NY Law School with his wife Molly, has a one-year-old son and discussed what his family is doing to try to keep themselves occupied.
“My wife and I are still technically working from home, so we take turns on the laptop while the other plays with Jack,” he said. “We do make a point to take a daily trip to John Paul Jones Park, where Jack likes to walk around, check out the gazebo, and monument. We have decided to stay away from playgrounds but this gives us a chance to get some fresh air and move our legs in a relatively open area.”
