Cuomo: NYS Adopting CDC’s New Mask and Social Distancing Guidance For Vaccinated People
If you missed it last week, the CDC made the news around the country after changing their guidelines for unvaccinated people and that led states to change their guidance as well,. However, people were wondering if New York State would follow. We got that answer today.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced today that effective Wednesday, May 19th,
New York State would be adopting the CDC's new guidance for mask wearing and social distancing for vaccinated people.
Masks must still be worn by vaccinated people on public transit, schools and some communal settings. Private venues reserve the right to still require masks. Unvaccinated individuals still will need to wear masks, per Cuomo.
