- New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced an executive order that will authorize businesses to require protective face coverings and allow them to refuse entry to those who won’t wear a mask.
- The order doesn’t require businesses to place such restrictions on their customers but allows them to do so if they choose to.
- Scientists have demonstrated the positive benefits of wearing a face mask, showing that it is helpful in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
New York City has been one of the hardest-hit areas with regard to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The huge number of people, the widespread use of public transit, and the complicated nature of arranging for testing and treatment of such a massive population led to a rapidly-growing pool of patients.
Now that things are beginning to trend in the right direction, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo wants to ensure the progress being made isn’t squandered. To that end, he announced today that he is signing an executive order that will give businesses the power to deny services to anyone who refuses to wear a protective face covering.
