STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Mayor Bill de Blasio has implemented an “emergency” ban that will fine retailers $350 per instance of price gouging on certain coronavirus (COVID-19) treatment or prevention products.

The mayor said on Monday that there would be no tolerance for mark-ups of more than 10% on 13 products that have been identified to help treat, fight or prevent the virus

“We are announcing a new consumer rule. ...We are taking a much deeper step now,” said de Blasio.

Those products where price gouging is now banned are: thermometers, sanitizing wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, aloe, latex gloves, fever reducers, cough suppressors, zinc oxide supplements, face masks, rubbing alcohol, toilet paper and facial tissue.

These items have been disappearing from store shelves across the city. And many online retailers have significantly marked up the products, making them unaffordable for many.

“For all the folks out there who sell these items, we are deadly seriously. You need to not price gouge these items. ...You have an obligation to your fellow New Yorkers to make sure these people can get these supplies,” said de Blasio.

As of Monday, 950 New Yorkers have tested positive for the disease, and 463 of those cases have been found in New York City. Seven people who tested positive for the disease have died.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday that 19 cases have been confirmed on Staten Island.
