New York City residents who break social distancing rules will be subject to fines up to $500 [View all]
New York City residents who break social distancing rules will be subject to fines up to $500, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday.
As New York battles the spread of coronavirus, the state has ordered nonessential businesses to shut down, banned gatherings of any size and mandated that people stay six feet away from each other. Not everyone has listened.
Fines will be a last resort, but de Blasio has authorized police officers to give them out to people who are ordered to disperse but fail to do so.

De Blasio said fines of $250 to $500 would begin for people found congregating in public spaces who fail to disperse when ordered, or return after officers have told them to move along.
