BUSTED: NYT Reporter Attacks Non-Mask Wearing Republicans, While Not Wearing A Mask
Mayor Bill de Blasio: “Anyone who refuses to wear a face-covering will be told that if they don’t put one on, they will be fined"
After the largest coronavirus spike New York City has seen since June, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that he will implement fines for city-goers who refuse to wear face coverings.
And he’s not messing around.
If you’re caught without a mask, the according fines could be as high as $1000, according to NPR.
City personnel will hand out free masks to anyone who is not wearing a face covering, the mayor said.
“Anyone who refuses to wear a face-covering will be told that if they don’t put one on, they will be fined,” de Blasio said. The new implementation will be effective immediately and on a large scale.
“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,” said de Blasio.
While the city is seeing a tremendous increase in cases throughout its entirety, the main uptick is occurring primarily in nine zip codes in Brooklyn and Queens, including areas with tight-knit Orthodox Jewish Communities. Health officials are emphasizing outreach to these communities, according to NPR.
The cases in these nine zip codes account for 25% of the city’s overall cases, even though they only host seven percent of the overall city’s population, according to New York City’s health commissioner Dave Chokshi. This concentration will become a key focus in efforts to decrease the transmission of the disease.
To enforce this new mandate, every agency in the city will play a role, according to the mayor, including the Sheriff’s Office and the New York Police Department.
