New York among states waiting to lift mask mandate for vaccinated people
Fox News
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dropped mask indoor mask mandates for people fully vaccinated against coronavirus, some states are hesitant to immediately do away with facial covering requirements.
"Outdoor masking is no longer required for anybody, vaccinated or unvaccinated unless you are in a very tight area, one of those particularly large events, where I would still recommend it, especially to those who are unvaccinated," Gov. Ned Lamont said in a press conference Thursday. "Indoor masking will still be required for the unvaccinated for a little bit longer." One of New York’s other neighbors, however, New Jersey, is taking a little longer to decide.More Related News
