They are fleeing because they don't want to be infected, they're hoping (not knowing) they're not infected etc. But the stat I saw two days ago indicated that 25% of NYC people tested positive.
Total cases of Covid-19 in all of USA is about 125,000 total population of NYC is 8,500,000 approximately. So if every Covid case was in NYC it would be around 1.5%.

But:

‘Thousands of new COVID-19 infections are now being reported in New York every day. As of Saturday afternoon, there have been at least 52,318 confirmed cases of the coronavirus discovered in the state, including nearly 30,000 in New York City. At least 728 people with COVID-19 have died in the state, which has the largest number — around 46 percent — of confirmed cases in the U.S.’ Intelligencer
