Kathy Hochul (D) suggested this week.<\/p>\n<p>Interim guidance for in-person instruction, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/atoms\/files\/Pre-K_to_Grade_12_Schools_MasterGuidance.pdf\">issued<\/a> June 7, 2021, states that masks should be required in school facilities, requiring them to be \u201cworn by all individuals in all classroom and non-classroom settings, including but not limited to hallways, school offices, restrooms, gyms, auditoriums, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>While masks are not required outdoors, schools may choose to require them in such scenarios.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">Currently, there is no end in sight for the school mask mandate. Rather, Hochul is placing the burden on the parents, suggesting&nbsp;the they must get their children vaccinated if they want to return to a state of maskless, pre-pandemic normalcy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf parents do the right thing all over the state, get their kids vaccinated. There will come a time when there\u2019s no reason to wear a mask, that every child is safe. But we need compliance,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/cbs6albany.com\/news\/local\/governor-hochul-says-its-too-soon-to-tell-when-mask-mandate-will-be-lifted-in-schools\">said<\/a> during an appearance on&nbsp;WNYW\u2019s <em>Good Day New York<\/em> this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in some communities it\u2019s stronger than others. So let\u2019s get the kids vaccinated. I don\u2019t have a date. I\u2019m not going to prejudge this,\u201d she said, failing to even offer a rough timeline and suggestion it all hinges on compliance. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I can know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to know how people are doing, are a lot of people getting vaccinated, or is there an early rush and then it plateaus and then half the kids in the class aren\u2019t protected. That\u2019s what I\u2019m watching. I\u2019m always driven by the numbers. So that\u2019s why I can\u2019t say, \u2018on this date, we\u2019re going to do X,&#8217;\u201d Hochul added.<\/p>\n<p>Her remarks follow the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/press-announcements\/fda-authorizes-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccine-emergency-use-children-5-through-11-years-age\">authorizing<\/a> the emergency use of Pfizer\u2019s coronavirus vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), among states reporting, 0.1 percent \u2013 2 percent of all child coronavirus cases <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/pages\/2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19-infections\/children-and-covid-19-state-level-data-report\/\">resulted<\/a> in hospitalization.
