NEW YORK — New York state’s mandate requiring mask use at schools will end this Wednesday, says Gov. Kathy Hochul, with the Big Apple to follow as soon as March 7, according to Mayor Eric Adams.
The city will also end requirements for New Yorkers to show proof of vaccination at indoor settings that date, provided there’s a “low level of risk,” Adams said.
The governor cited steep declines in the state’s COVID-19 numbers — which reached alarming heights through the holidays — as the reason for the next milestone in the state’s pandemic response.
