Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that New York is lifting nearly all COVID-19 restrictions, after the state cleared the threshold of 70 percent of adult residents having received at least one vaccine dose.
“What does 70 percent mean? That means that we can now return to life as we know it,” Cuomo said Tuesday.
Effective immediately, the state’s coronavirus precautions are lifted in all commercial settings, including: offices, sporting events, manufacturing buildings, malls, movie theaters, camps, child care and personal care businesses, construction sites, food service establishments, amusement parks, and retail buildings.
In addition, social gathering capacity restrictions have been removed, and health screenings, as well as the cleaning and disinfecting protocols, will no longer be required in New York.
Now that the pandemic is over, it’s time to take back the no-vote powers the Governor has had since the beginning. #tyranny
about time!!!!!
Not enough people in NY state have been vaccinated to justify this dangerous removal of covid-restrictions. People will die because of this. Cuomo is responsible.
Perfect timing for his daughter’s wedding coming up….
Are masks on Subway still required ?
Unfortunately yes. And in schools and in healthcare settings
Why?!
Do you want the rules to be put down again especially with the new variants that are coming out some of the vaccines don’t always help to attack the virus and destroy it.
If you want the rules to come back then please write that “i disagree”!
