New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed an order allowing online marriages, as many weddings are cancelled under lockdown restrictions.
纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫签署了一项允许网上结婚的法令。眼下许多婚礼都因为封锁限制而取消了。
From now on, people in the US state will be able to apply for marriage licences remotely and clerks allowed to conduct ceremonies virtually.
从现在起,美国纽约州的居民将能远程申请结婚证,婚姻登记处的办事员可以在线主持登记仪式。
Mr Cuomo joked that the decision meant there was now "no excuse" for couples not to tie the knot.
科莫开玩笑说,这一决定意味着现在新人们“没有理由”不结婚了。
"You can do it by Zoom. Yes or no?" he said in his briefing on Saturday.
4月18日他在新闻发布会上说:“可以通过视频会议软件Zoom结婚了。你们愿不愿意?”
The decision comes after New York state extended lockdown measures until May 15. More than 13,000 people have died of coronavirus in New York city alone.
发布这一决定前,纽约州将封锁期延长到了5月15日。仅在纽约市就有超1.3万人死于新冠肺炎。
