Statement on Wearing Masks While Running

Hi all,

I want to make sure everyone on the team is aware of Governor Cuomo’s order to wear a mask (scarves and buffs seem to count) in public when social distancing is not possible.  Here’s the official executive order:

• https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/no-20217-continuing-temporary-suspension-and-modification-laws-relating-disaster-emergency

The order itself seems rather broad, but in numerous articles, the governor specifically mentioned busy streets and parks:

And here is an article recommending wearing masks when running:

• https://abc7ny.com/coronavirus-nyc-update-corona-virus-cases/6108488/

The team encourages everyone to please use your best judgement when running and try to err on the side of caution.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

– Matt
