The wife and two children, including a Yeshiva University student, of a Westchester County man infected with coronavirus also have been diagnosed with the illness, along with a neighbor — bringing to six the number of confirmed cases in the state, Gov. Cuomo announced Wednesday.
“We have unfortunately received news this morning that our student has tested positive for COVID-19. Our thoughts are with him and his family as well as to all those affected,” Yeshiva University said in a statement.
“We are taking every precaution by canceling all classes on Wilf Campus in Washington Heights. This includes all in-person graduate courses on that campus as wall as the boys’ high school,” it added.
The student lived on campus at Yeshiva, officials said Tuesday, though he had not been there since Thursday, when his father — identified by sources as attorney Lawrence Garbuz, 50 — was admitted to NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville.
The son had been quarantined at his parents’ home in New Rochelle, along with his mother and sister, while his dad remains hospitalized at NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center in Manhattan, where he was transferred Monday.
His daughter attends the private Jewish SAR Academy in Riverdale that closed Tuesday for “precuationary measures” — as did its nearby sister school, the SAR High School.
Temple Young Israel in New Rochelle, where the patients are congregants, has been ordered to suspend services and some members have been ordered to self-quarantine because of possible exposure.
Garbuz’s two other children are in Israel, according to Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
Garbuz runs a boutique law firm with his wife that also employs one of their four kids as a paralegal, according to information posted online.
The seven-lawyer practice, Lewis & Garbuz, is located across the street from Grand Central Terminal and specializes in matters including personal planning and wealth management, estate litigation, guardianships and elder law, its website says.
The third coronavirus patient is a 39-year-old health-care worker who arrived from Iran and is self-isolated, at her Manhattan home.
Her husband, who traveled with her, tested negative for the disease, Cuomo said Wednesday.
Also testing negative were two families in Buffalo who were isolated in their homes after recently traveling to a part of Italy where travel warnings have been issued.
