New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is signing an Executive Order today “authorizing businesses to deny entry to those who do not wear masks or face-coverings”:
Today I am signing an Executive Order authorizing businesses to deny entry to those who do not wear masks or face-coverings. No mask – No entry.

It’s a little late for that, no? Why didn’t he order this two months ago? Anyway, he’s using actors Chris Rock and Rosie Perez to help sell the new mandate:
Spread love the Brooklyn way.
Get tested. Wear a mask.
Stand up & do the right thing.@rosieperezbklyn @chrisrock
— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) May 28, 2020
And both showed up at his coronavirus press conference:
