New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority is getting creative to get its message across during the coronavirus pandemic, launching a new campaign encouraging riders to cover their noses and mouths.

The MTA, North America's largest transportation network, which runs New York City's subways, buses, and commuter rail cars, is using digital signs and audio announcements to make sure commuters know they are now required to wear masks or cloth coverings over their noses and mouths.
