ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo showed off his new gift he received from the Governor of Connecticut.
Gov. Ned Lamont sent Governor Cuomo a personalized Connecticut state license plate that reads "WEARAMASK."
Cuomo shared the picture on Twitter saying, "Why didn’t I think of this?!"
Governor Cuomo has repeatedly urged all New Yorkers to wear a mask when you are in public and cannot properly socially distance yourself from others.
Cuomo even tapped actor Paul Rudd when he launched the "Mask Up, America" campaign which was aimed at younger Americans to inform them of the importance of wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect themselves and others.
Human coronaviruses are usually spread through...
• The air by coughing or sneezing
• Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands
• Touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose or eyes before washing your hands.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with your arm, hot your hand.
• If you use a tissue, throw it in the trash.
