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.

More than 15,000 people have died from COVID-19 in New Jersey, ranking it second after neighboring New York state in the total number of deaths, according to a Reuters tally.

“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. “The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!” Trump posted on Twitter.

That may be a little unconstitutional. Just saying. I agree, masks should be worn, but I don't agree with any government body demanding it of me to do. VoteGold Libertarian JoJorgensen2020

Americans are some of the dumbest people in earth, the government has to force them to use to wear masks. Maybe mother nature is trying to reduce the number of stupid people.

This will create an epidemic of Karens

It's about time! Don't spread the virus! WearAMask

The article does not specify _which_ outside areas this applies to. Requiring them in common areas and shared public spaces is a very good idea. Wearing them while alone in one’s own yard might be excessive.
