Cuomo wishes good day to ‘everyone wearing a mask’
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) — who has been one of the main public officials calling for Americans to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic — stayed on brand Saturday, wishing everyone who was wearing a mask a “Happy Saturday.”

New York, once the epicenter of the pandemic in the U.S., has been successful in flattening its curve, even as a resurgence of the virus has happened across the American South and the rest of the country.
The state reported 750 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, a positivity rate of 1.05.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) offered a snippy retort to Cuomo, tweeting, “[T]o all the New Yorkers whom the governor excluded—sitting at home with your family happily sans mask—happy Saturday to you too!”
And to all the New Yorkers whom the governor excluded—sitting at home with your family happily sans mask—happy Saturday to you too! https://t.co/PDm0TY4OM4
