I’m vaccinated, I don’t think delta variant will put me in the hospital, but if I’m a locality that is a high-risk locality, and the locality says where a mask, I’m going to wear a mask.

“My opinion on the facts - as a New Yorker and not as a governor - I’m going to wear a mask,” Gov. “If they don’t act, then we’ll be where we were last year where it becomes a statewide emergency and the state will have to act. “Right now this is all up to local governments,” Gov. Subsequent CDC guidance said fully vaccinated people no longer needed to wear masks at summer camps or at schools, either. The guidance still called for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings, like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters, but it cleared the way for reopening workplaces and other venues. In May, the CDC further eased its guidance for fully vaccinated people, allowing them to stop wearing masks outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings. Then in April, as vaccination rates rose sharply, the agency eased its guidelines on the wearing of masks outdoors, saying that fully vaccinated Americans no longer needed to cover their faces unless they were in a big crowd of strangers. The only way you overcome the local government is with a state law, which is what we did last time if you remember.”įor much of the pandemic, the CDC advised Americans to wear masks outdoors if they were within 6 feet of one another. The state has strongly recommended that local governments do it, but it’s up to the local governments. The CDC doesn’t mandate local governments to do it, they recommend it. “Local governments, follow the CDC masking guidance,” Gov.
