面对严峻的疫情形势，美国纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫终于宣布了该州针对口罩的最新措施。

　　据CNN报道，科莫于当地时间15日表示，他将签署行政命令，要求纽约州人民在公共场所不能保持社交距离时，须佩戴口罩或遮挡口鼻。

　　New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will sign an executive order that requires everyone in the state to wear a mask or a mouth/nose covering in public when not social distancing, he said Wednesday.

　　他举例子称，比如在搭乘公共交通时就很难保持社交距离，又或者是在繁忙的街道上行走时，“都需要遮挡面部或戴口罩。”

　　“For example, if a person is riding on public transit where it is impossible to maintain social distancing, or walking on a busy sidewalk, "you must wear a face covering or a mask," he said.

　　据新闻网站CNBC报道，科莫的这项举措将适用于包括地铁和公交巴士等公共交通，以及商店等公共场所。

　　It would apply to people on public transit, including subways and buses, as well as in public spaces like grocery stores, he said.

　　“去公园遛弯，想出门散步都可以。但是不要传染我，你没有权利传染我。”

　　"You're right to go out for a walk in the park, go out for a walk because you need to get out of the house. Don't infect me. You don't have a right to infect me," he said.

　　他希望纽约人民可以遵守命令，因为其“很合理”。

　　He said he hopes New Yorkers follow the rule "because it makes sense."

　　而在执行这一命令前，纽约人民有3天准备时间，确保口罩或其他覆盖物到位。科莫说，他还考虑对违反这一规定的人给予民事处罚。

　　There will be a three-day notice period before the order is enforced, allowing New Yorkers to secure masks or coverings. He said he is considering a civil penalty for those who break the rule.
