Cuomo signed an executive order giving businesses the right to deny entry to shoppers who aren’t wearing face masks

Despite the fact that several scientific studies have shown that wearing protective facial coverings reduces the transmission rate of COVID-19, and they are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), some people still refuse to wear them. However, in the state of New York, non-mask wearers will no longer have the right to walk into any store, restaurant, or other business establishment of their choice. On Thursday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order giving businesses in the state the right to deny entry to anyone who isn’t wearing a protective face covering.
