New York City Mayor #EricAdams is lifting indoor mask requirements at schools and dropping proof of vaccine checks for restaurants and entertainment venues beginning Monday.
Mr. Adams made the announcement in Times Square and said it was part of his efforts to reopen New York after a steep drop in coronavirus cases. “It’s time to reopen our city,” Mr. Adams said.
Beginning on Monday, students will no longer have to wear masks indoors at public schools, however, children under 5 must continue to wear masks since they are not yet eligible for vaccination.
Also as of Monday, citizens of NYC will not be required to show proof of vaccination to visit the city’s restaurants, gyms and other venues like movie theaters. Masks are still required on public transit and in certain venues, such as Broadway theaters.
Are y’all gonna stop wearing your masks or nah? 👀 #BWLM
