Andrew Cuomo had a couple of famous (masked) faces join him for his daily press conference.
Cuomo announced that Rock and Perez -- who are both from Brooklyn, New York -- will be part of a PSA campaign in the works urging New Yorkers to wear face coverings, to get tested for the coronavirus when they can and to practice social distancing to help continue to curb the spread of the virus. Cuomo also announced he was signing an executive order authorizing businesses to deny entry to those who do not wear masks or face coverings.
"I don't care who you voted for," she said."I don't care who you're going to vote for. All I care is that we get out of this pandemic as quickly as possible and as safely as possible." Meanwhile, 55-year-old Rock said he got tested just to be able to participate in the press conference and joked that he got a 65 and"just passed." The comedian said he really missed performing amid social distancing but that it would be even better once he's able to come back, and that he would never again take it for granted.
"If you love your grandmother, if you love your elderly mother, your elderly anybody, you should get tested. ... It's wherever there are poor people, really, wherever people are congested," he said."Everybody that can get tested, should get tested, as soon as possible."
