New York will have to decide whether to adopt new mask-wearing guidelines after the federal government reversed its position Tuesday, recommending that even vaccinated people wear them indoors, including in schools, in areas of high COVID-19 transmission.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the change as the spread of the delta variant, a particularly transmissible strain of COVID-19, picked up speed across the nation.
Now, it will be up to Gov. Andrew Cuomo s administration or perhaps local governments to decide whether to adopt the federal guidance in New York. As of Tuesday afternoon, the state s mask-wearing policy largely applied only to those in public spaces who are unvaccinated.
