New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told New Yorkers Saturday that they can snap smartphone photos of social distancing violations and text them to authorities and �enforcement will come� as the coronavirus shutdown remains in place across the Big Apple.

�Now it is easier than ever,� he said in a video posted to his official Twitter account. �When you see a crowd, when you see a line that�s not distanced, when you see a supermarket that�s too crowded — anything — you can report it right away so we can get help there to fix the problem.�

The mayor opened Saturday�s video by praising city residents for largely adhering to the guidelines and for being �extraordinary at social distancing,� noting that people are normally used to bustling crowds throughout the five boroughs.

�Thank you everyone who�s done it the right way, but we still know there�s some people who need to get the message,� he said in the video. �And that means, sometimes, making sure the enforcement is there to educate people.�
