BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday that he will be signing an executive order that authorizes private businesses to deny entry to people who do not wear a mask or face covering.
“When we’re talking about reopening stores and places of business, we’re giving the store owners the right to say if you’re not wearing a mask, you can’t come in,” the governor said. “You don’t want to wear a mask, fine, but you don’t have a right to then go into that store if that store owner doesn’t want you to.”
Many stores have already posted signs, asking customers to don a face covering before entering. This order will add some more muscle behind those policies.
