With more than 14,000 confirmed or probable deaths, according to AFP, New York City is hit hard by the covid-19 epidemic. Containment must remain in force there until April 29.

In this tweet dated April 18, and shared nearly 10,000 times, the governor announced that he had published “an executive order authorizing New Yorkers to obtain a remote marriage license and authorizing clerks to perform ceremonies by videoconference.”
