REUTERS/Jessica KourkounisNEW YORK: New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said on Wednesday he would sign an executive order requiring people to wear face coverings outdoors to prevent a resurgence of the novel coronavirus whenever social distancing is not possible.

"We've gone through hell in New Jersey. We've lost over 13,000 people, we've brought our numbers way down. We can't go through that hell again." Ohio is ordering people in seven counties to wear face coverings in public starting on Wednesday evening.President Donald Trump, who owns a golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, has eschewed the idea of wearing a face mask and has exhorted Americans to return to their daily routines since the end of mandatory lockdowns imposed in March and April.

It was unclear what specific aid Trump had in mind. States are responsible for primary and secondary education under the US Constitution but the federal government provides some supplementary aid.Nineteen states have reported record increases in cases this month and about 24 states have reported disturbingly high infection rates as a percentage of diagnostic tests conducted over the past week.
