Gov. Cuomo: New York will adopt CDC guidelines that ease masking rules for fully vaccinated
Source: WIVB
The governor said effective Wednesday, the state will adopt the new CDC guidance that eases mask requirements for fully vaccinated people.
The new guidance still calls for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters but will help clear the way for reopening workplaces, schools, and other venues even removing the need for masks or social distancing for those who are fully vaccinated. The CDC will also no longer recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks outdoors in crowds.
If you are vaccinated, you are safe, Gov. Cuomo said. No masks, no social distancing.
The governor said individual private venues still have the ability to add additional guidelines to existing state and federal guidance should they choose to do so.
