Incoming New York Governor Kathy Hochul said on Sunday that she supported mask mandates for children in school as a necessary safety step for helping New York get through a new wave of COVID-19 infections.

NEW YORK -

National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins told Fox News Sunday that outbreaks are happening in schools where kids are not wearing masks, forcing them to go back to distance learning. Collins said there was a "very strong" case for masks in schools. Hochul said that she intended to work out a strategy for boosting the vaccination rate together with current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the incoming mayor, widely expected to be Democratic nominee Eric Adams.

The United States is experiencing a new surge in the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the more infectious Delta variant and dipping vaccination rates.
