New Yorkers must accept the new reality of wearing masks in public in order for the virus to stop spreading, Governor Andrew Cuomo said.
The state is delivering 1 million masks to New York City, the only state region still on lockdown, and enlisting celebrities and Brooklynites Chris Rock and Rosie Perez to help spread a message that masks are socially acceptable. Cuomo said there are 225 testing sites in New York City, many underused, and encouraged people to go.
