BREAKING: New York's statewide school mask mandate will come to an end on March 2, Gov. Kathy Hochul said. Details here:

New York's COVID positivity rate is at its lowest point since the winter Omicron surge started, Hochul said. Cases have been dropping for the last month and a half.

"We're at our lowest point in pediatric cases since July of 2021, and that was before the school year started. So this has been our trend over this school year," Hochul said."So as you can all see, looking at the data and the evidence that we follow, that we are in a much, much better place." Out of the nation's largest states, New York has the highest or second highest vaccination rate in key age groups , according to the governor.

Bad idea 100%. I don't care if surges go down or whatever the statuses are my child will continue to wear her mask In school regardless im not going to put her health at risk 💯

I hope she keeps mask on transit because my husband who works for mta will still wear one and so will I.

Even for children too young to be vaccinated?

I guess she finally realized all the parents (along with unemployed teachers and healthcare workers) will be showing up to vote.

GovKathyHochul needs a facelift.

Wait the pandemic is over?

November 9, 2022, the mandates will re-appear when the next variant is discovered.
