The face masks may have to be put back on in New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo is reviewing the latest Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, recommending indoor mask-wearing returns, even for those who are vaccinated.
"New Yorkers beat back COVID before, going from the highest positivity rate on the globe to one of the lowest, by staying smart, following the science, and having each other's backs, and that's exactly what we'll keep doing in this next phase of the pandemic," Governor Cuomo said in a statement. "We are reviewing the CDC's new recommendations closely in consultation with federal and state health experts."
