Will NY Businesses Refuse Entry to Customers Without a Mask?

Starting this weekend, it might be difficult to enter stores and essential businesses without your face covered.

We've been seeing a lot of Hudson Valley residents wearing masks for weeks now when out in public. If you walk inside any essential business like a grocery store you'll see that the majority of people are wearing masks and gloves to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

With Cuomo's latest executive order requiring all New Yorker's to wear a mask or cloth over their face in public it should soon be a rare sight to see someone's face in public.

While at a store this Poughkeepsie this week I was told that starting on Saturday I will not be allowed access inside of the store without my face covered. I would only be able to use curbside pick up.

So you know of any businesses in the Hudson Valley that will be enforcing this new policy?
