If you thought you could finally discard your mask, you ll have to wait a bit longer at least here in New York.
On Thursday, the CDC announced that fully vaccinated Americans no longer need to wear masks in public or social distance, except in some medical settings and crowded situations, but Governor Andrew Cuomo told New Yorkers to hold off on putting their masks away.
So, instead of going along with the new CDC guidelines, Cuomo wants Health Commissioner Howard Zucker to review them first. In New York, we have always relied on the facts and the science to guide us throughout the worst of this pandemic and in our successful reopening, Cuomo said. We have received the newly revised guidance from the CDC regarding mask-wearing and social distancing for those with vaccinations and are reviewing them in consultation with Dr. Zucker and our partners and health experts in surrounding states.
