Nancy Pelosi looked more like she was on the set of "Contagion" the sequel than the U.S. Capitol building ... as she and her entourage all strolled in wearing masks.

The House Speaker arrived Thursday to the nation's capital as the House of Representatives begin debating several coronavirus-related issues and, hopefully, vote and approve the new stimulus package to help the reeling economy and specifically small businesses. The Senate already approved the nearly $500 billion relief bill.

You can see it's not just Nancy wearing a face covering. Her staff and security detail are also following the CDC's guidelines to wear masks while entering essential businesses. When the session began, you can also see almost every member -- both Democrats and Republicans -- wearing masks, though there were a few knuckleheads who opted going sans mask.

Eating out in a pandemic-afflicted world might look more like visiting a loved one in prison ... if this test run in Italy is any indication.

Restaurant owner Valerio Calderoni and his wife, Martina, are serving as guinea pigs for a possible new setup at eateries, intended to lower the risk of spreading the coronavirus.

The couple is seated at a table for 2 in Calderoni's Il Ciak restaurant in Rome's Trastevere district, and as you can see ... there's a large piece of plexiglass between them.

Clearly, the separator makes for a less intimate dinner date, but Valerio and his wife have plenty of room for their food and are still able to cheers with their wine glasses.

It's unclear how the dividers would affect sound travel in the restaurant -- especially if patrons are also wearing masks -- but this is just a test run ... probably a lot of kinks to work out still.

Employees at a Jersey Mike's at LAX flouted the Los Angeles city order to wear face coverings ... but it looks like the customers were too.

The order went into effect in L.A. April 10, which requires both shoppers and workers at essential businesses that are open during the coronavirus pandemic to wear a face covering.

This includes businesses providing food, like the Jersey Mike's at Terminal 2, but based on this video shot April 16 during the lunch hour ... the workers weren't complying.

As you see, at least 2 employees were serving customers without wearing masks -- including the one cutting the meats -- and we're told the guy at the register was wearing a face mask ... but it was pulled down to only cover his beard and chin, leaving his mouth and nose exposed.

Two men ordering food in the vid, including an apparent pilot, were also not covering up.

As you may know ... many health experts now suggest wearing a mask outdoors to prevent the spread of COVID-19, though it's not required in the majority of states and cities in the U.S.

However, in L.A. it's considered a misdemeanor to not comply, though Mayor Eric Garcetti has said he hopes people will voluntarily follow the order.

This Jersey Mike's might need a little more encouragement.

Jermaine Dupri fears Atlanta's black community will see a spike in COVID-19 deaths IF the city reopens for biz Friday, so he's begging ATL ... "Don't fall for the okie doke."

The "okie doke" is a clear reference to GA's Gov., Brian Kemp, giving the state the green light to open barbershops, hair and nail salons, tattoo parlors, bowling alleys and several other businesses. But, Jermaine -- an ATL and hip-hop icon -- says it's too early, and it's the wrong image for his city's black community.

JD came armed with stats for his nearly 10-minute plea to Atlanta -- pointing out COVID-19 is killing African-Americans at a disproportionately high rate, and that Georgia ranks last in virus testing.

He did acknowledge the challenges of quarantine, and said he does understand why people want to get out, but added the stakes are just too high to give in now. As he put it, "Don't die 'cause you bored!"

The NAACP is going even further than Jermaine, directly calling Gov. Kemp's decision "reckless and unilateral." The org. says Kemp is placing "at risk communities in direct danger" of contracting COVID-19, and it's calling on citizens to push back ... and stay home.

Leave it to Sofia Richie to deliver some sobering news while still looking like she stepped off a bikini runway, but she could just be breaking the law because it looks like that runway is closed.

Sofia hopped on her e-bike Wednesday and hit the beach ... social distancing was not an issue because the beach was empty. Unclear what beach she was at, but L.A. County beaches are closed, and she was definitely in Malibu Wednesday, which is off-limits.  Nevertheless, it's hard to dispute her declaration summer 2020 is over before it begins.

Sofia's BF, Scott Disick, had a lighter spin on things ... calling his Wednesday "Earth Day at its finest" with some help from his e-bike. He looked like he was having a ball, for sure, but again, he's tooling around without a mask, and if it's L.A. County, the beaches are closed. Maybe Sofia hadn't told him yet about summer getting out of dodge.

Things were much simpler just 8 months ago when Sofia turned 21. She got a couple of cars for her birthday -- seriously, a Bentley and Range Roger -- and hopped on a jet with Kylie.

Ah, the good ol' days.

NY Knicks owner James Dolan is CORONAVIRUS FREE -- and he's donating his blood plasma to help others fight the deadly virus!

Dolan tested positive for COVID-19 back in March after coming down with the usual symptoms -- including a loss of smell.

The 64-year-old quarantined himself and has been recovering ever since. Finally, a new test taken almost 4 weeks after his initial diagnosis shows he's now negative for COVID.

Now, Dolan is focusing his energy on helping others -- an MSG spokesperson confirmed to The Post he has volunteered to participate in multiple clinical trials.

In fact, he's already donated blood to multiple hospitals including NYU Langone Health and Duke University Medical Center,

Dolan has also taken steps to donate plasma antibodies to help current COVID-19 patients.

According to the Red Cross, "People who have fully recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies in their plasma that can attack the virus."

"This convalescent plasma is being evaluated as treatment for patients with serious or immediately life-threatening COVID-19 infections, or those judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease."

There's more ... Dolan has also placed in $1 million into a relief fund he created for MSG employees who are taking a hit from the Garden being closed since March 12.

Insane Clown Posse's giving Michiganders short on masks a reason to bust open some Faygo and celebrate ... a helpful donation from the Juggalo world.

Detroit's very own horrorcore hip-hop duo delivered more than 300 band shirts Wednesday to be made into masks, which will be distributed to community members and healthcare workers in need.

A member of ICP's record label -- decked out in clown gear, of course -- dropped off the boxes of merchandise at the Detroit Sewn donation center. Every Juggalo would probably love to get their hands on some of these shirts, but let's face it ... they probably already have enough gear.

Glamorous Moms Foundation has partnered with Michigan's Detroit Sewn to take in fabric donations from all around and turn them into masks that are free to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J tell us they linked up with the good cause to simply do their part to help out locally, like so many others are.

We're told it will take a few days for the ICP shirts to be sewn into masks, which will feature the names and faces of the duo ... but mostly 2 Dope, if you believe what J's saying.

ICP also just recently dropped their new app, Custom Clown Clips, as a way to send personalized messages and stay connected with all the Juggalos during the pandemic.

Either way, there's nothing clownish about their good deed.

Tommy "Tiny" Lister has no patience for kids or teens disobeying orders to stay home, and he's threatening vigilante justice -- "Friday" style -- if they don't straighten up.

Tiny, best known for playing Deebo in the 'Friday' flicks, is delivering a stern warning to any kids tempted to blow off coronavirus quarantines ... and it would make Craig and Smokey say, "Damnnnn!!!"

Tiny's strongly urging children to act like adults and put on gloves and masks when they have to go outside, but for the most part ... get their butts in the house and stay there.

He's even threatening Deebo-esque intimidation tactics to make sure they comply.

As you may know ... young people are at much lower risk of developing serious symptoms if they contract COVID-19, but they can still be contagious carriers and infect those who are more at-risk. Hence, the stern message from Lister.

BTW -- for those who are of age -- don't forget Tiny's going to be out in L.A. this Friday for special weed deliveries to 4 lucky winners ... and he'll be wearing the proper safety gear.

Chris Cuomo is taking a huge step in his COVID-19 recovery -- he's returning to bro mode, getting in some outdoor exercise and, apparently, setting up a home gym.

The CNN anchor, who' been doing his show from his basement, emerged Wednesday for a jog near his home in the Hamptons. It's the first time we've seen him outside since he announced he'd contracted the coronavirus.

Seems Chris is still pushing it physically as he recovers. Remember, he outlined his game plan to beat COVID-19 ... and the playbook from his doctor called for as much movement as possible because the virus can set up shop in the body when you're sedentary and passive.

There's little chance that would ever happen with Chris ... looks like he's gonna be stepping up his in-home workouts. Some gym equipment was delivered to his crib.

It's probably no coincidence ... CNN announced Wednesday most of their staff would not return to their offices until September. So, Chris is hunkering down for a long haul.

Unfortunately, he also got some bad news today -- his 14-year-old son Mario's tested positive for COVID-19, which comes on the heels of finding out his wife Christina tested positive last week.

Two pet cats have tested positive for the novel coronavirus in New York ... and the feds say these are the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 in companion animals in the U.S.

The felines have mild respiratory illnesses and are expected to recover, according to the USDA and CDC. The cats are believed to have contracted the virus from humans who live with them or from folks in their neighborhoods.

As we reported ... pets are at risk of catching the coronavirus from unsuspecting owners. Cats and ferrets are the most susceptible.

While these 2 cats are the first confirmed cases of the virus in U.S. pets, other animals have already been infected ... including a tiger at the Bronx Zoo and 2 dogs in Hong Kong.

The CDC says people should not panic or be afraid of pets. Nor should you rush to get animals tested for the virus.

The agency says there is no evidence pets are spreading COVID-19 to people but recommends pet owners keep their companions from interacting with people and animals outside their residence.

The cats were reportedly tested for the virus at veterinary labs, and the tests used different chemicals than human tests, which remain hard to come by amid the pandemic.

The USDA says coronavirus testing is not recommended for pets unless the animal is showing symptoms or has been exposed to a human with COVID-19.

The two infected felines live in different parts of NY state, but the USDA and CDC will not specify their locations.

The first cat got sick roughly a week after someone in the home had a short respiratory illness, although the person was not confirmed to have COVID-19. The feline also went outside, so it could have been in contact with an infected person in the neighborhood.

Keisha Lance Bottoms says she's "dumbfounded" by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's decision to reopen the state's economy despite red flags everywhere ... so she's using her voice to try to keep people safe during the pandemic instead.

The Mayor of Atlanta tells us she understands people are going stir-crazy and want to get out, but she believes everyone still needs to be responsible and stay home for now ... otherwise coronavirus problems are only going to get worse.

Bottoms points out the businesses set to reopen this week -- hair & nail salons, barbershops, massage parlors -- practically make it impossible to social distance and pose a huge problem in ATL's black community ... which has already been hit hard by COVID-19.

So, the mayor's encouraging Georgians to listen to reason coming from health experts and hospital workers bearing the brunt of the crisis ... instead of what Gov. Kemp and President Trump are pushing. We know some celeb hair & makeup stylists in Atlanta have her back.

Bottoms knows it's a challenge, though, because she's dealing with it in her own house -- especially with her 18-year-old son. Listen to what Bottoms tells us about how that's playing out ... it's clear who's boss!
