Gov. Hochul says mask mandate for schools to end March 2 amid declining COVID cases
in Albany, the Democrat said counties and cities could keep their own mandates in place, and parents could still choose to send their kids to school in masks."Given the decline in our rates, our hospitalizations, strong vaccination rates and the CDC guidance, my friends, the day has come," Hochul said."Today we are going to be announcing that we will be lifting the statewide mask requirement in schools.
The new rules effective Wednesday will apply to children 2 years and older in childcare facilities. New York State has 2.7 million schoolchildren, including about 1 million in New York City. Hochul cited statistics showing that new COVID-19 hospital admissions for children ages five to 18 have dropped 80% since a peak in earlier January and are below the start of the 2021 to 2022 school year.

Earlier this month, Hochul let a broad mask mandate for most indoor settings expire but said the requirement for schools would remain in place. She had promised to revisit the issueby the first week of March.
