The mayor spoke about the continued actions in the city to combat the Chinese coronavirus, citing hundreds of additional city agency personnel handing out masks, encouraging testing, and “pushing back against misinformation.”
De Blasio also announced an additional enforcement measure: mask patrols.
“Anyone who is not wearing a face covering will be offered one, will be reminded it is required, and anyone who refuses to wear a face covering will be told that if they don’t put one on they will be fined, and anyone who still refuses will be fined,” he explained, noting that it will “happen aggressively.”
“Our goal of course is to give everyone a free face mask and get them to wear it. We don’t want to fine people. If we have to, we will. And that will be starting on a large scale today,” he added:
Andrew Cuomo: I don’t care if you don’t want to wear a mask, it’s the law! As he’s seen walking his dog without a mask. Diane Feinstein no mask, Nancy Pelosi no mask and on and on.
