El gobernador Murphy dice que los cubrebocas deberían ser obligatorios en todo el país

As COVID-19 continues to spike in certain parts of the United States, Governor Phil Murphy told Andrea Mitchell on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning that the wearing of face masks should be mandatory in the country.  Standing at the New Jersey shore, Murphy said there should be a “national requirement” that everyone wear face masks amid the coronavirus.

“It’s become almost not even debatable,” the governor told NBC TV’s “Meet the Press.” “Certainly when you’re going out and absolutely indoors. As I mentioned, this virus is a lot more lethal inside than outside. But if you’re leaving your house, put on a mask. I think it ought to be a national, a national requirement.”

New Jersey has lost 15,211 people owing to complications arising from COVID-19.

Murphy continued, “This thing is lethal. New Jersey’s paid an enormous price. …We’re starting to see small spikes as people come back from Myrtle Beach. There was a wedding in Myrtle Beach. We absolutely have evidence of folks – Jersey folks – who were at that wedding and they came back to New Jersey. We’re only as strong as our weakest link.”

Murphy called for a “national strategy” with masks at the core.

He called it not even debatable.

“New Jerseyans have down the right thing from the get-go,” he added. But they stand to face higher risks with people entering New Jersey from states that did not take similar precautions at the outset of the virus’ outbreak.
