“If our numbers continue to show a low level of risk, we will remove the indoor mask mandate for public-school students,” Adams said in a statement. “We will also remove the vaccination requirements for Key2NYC — meaning indoor-dining, fitness, and entertainment venues.” He said that he and other city officials will review the risk data and make their final decision at the end of the week. The vaccine mandate for New York City employees will remain in effect.
On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidelines that advised that most Americans could now go mask free, provided they didn’t live in an area where the risk of catching COVID was still high. On Saturday, Hochul announced that the state’s seven-day test-positivity rate had fallen below 2 percent, and that the number of COVID hospitalizations in the state had fallen below 2,000 for the first time since November 14, before the Omicron wave.
In Ukraine we also dropped it. Not because pandemic stoped, but because the war started. It’s hard to breathe through the mask for hours when you’re on the underground shelter or fight Russian invaders
