Adams gave the big update at a press conference in Times Square, urging people to “come in and enjoy the restaurants, enjoy the businesses, and be a part of this great city without having to show proof of vaccinations.”
New York joins cities and states across the country that are dropping Covid-19 rules after health officials released new guidelines and hospitalizations fell. “I know that some who state that they still want their children to wear their masks, you can,” he said. “We are not going to get in the way of your discretion.”
This latest move comes after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced earlier this week that, effective Wednesday, New York would no longer require students to wear masks in schools, citing steep declines in Covid-19 hospitalizations statewide,
The NFL also said it is dropping protocols.
