During yesterdays (Sunday March 29th) Mayor Bill De Blasio spoke about the possibility of fining people who do follow the new rules in place.
“You’ve been warned and warned and warned again. When we say you can go out for some exercise, we’re not saying you can linger, we’re not saying you can make a day of it. we’re saying go out, get a minimum amount of exercise and go back indoors. We will be enforcing this but with understanding for the challenges that people are facing, for how new this is.”
So please everyone stay inside and listen to officials!
