STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Mayor Bill de Blasio is urging New Yorkers to report on those who are not following social distancing rules.

“New Yorkers, you have been extraordinary at social distancing,” de Blasio said in a video shared on Twitter. “It has taken every fiber of our beings to figure out how to do this because we’re warm, emotional people.”

How do you report places that aren’t enforcing social distancing? It’s simple: just snap a photo and text it to 311-692. #AskMyMayor pic.twitter.com/WQdCcVf1Rl — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) April 18, 2020

Still, the mayor said, some people are not following the rules.

“We still know there’s some people who need to get the message,” de Blasio continued. “And that means sometimes making sure the enforcement is there to educate people and make clear we’ve got to have social distancing.”

The mayor said that reporting people is now “easier than ever.”

People can report someone who is not properly social distancing or if they go to a supermarket and it is too crowded by snapping a picture and texting it to 311-692 with the location of where the picture was taken.

“Enforcement will come to get the help we need,” de Blasio said.

Alternatively, New Yorkers can upload that picture to the 311 app as well.

“Sending that photo in is going to help make sure that people are kept apart and that’s going to stop the disease from spreading and that’s going to save lives,” the mayor added.
