New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is proving that once you unmask, you\u2019re bound to go back.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Cuomo\u2019s successor announced on Friday that any indoor business without a vaccine requirement must require patrons to wear a face mask. Any violators will be fined $1,000 per infraction.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul reassured New Yorkers things could be worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to go back ever again to that place where people couldn\u2019t go to their jobs safely, couldn\u2019t congregate, kids couldn\u2019t go to schools,\u201d Hochul said. \u201cThat isolation had a devastating effect on the human condition and we\u2019re still dealing with the fallout today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), Hochul is pushing the rest of the state to catch up to the Big Apple\u2019s strict vaccination and mask requirements. Hochul commended New York City residents for complying with the heavy handed restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people in New York City are already dealing with this, been dealing with it for awhile. You\u2019ve been doing great and that is why your hospital capacity is good,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s why your vaccination numbers are high, your infections are not as high as the rest of the state, but the rest of the state now has a wake up call.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/COVID?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#COVID<\/a> Update:<\/p>\n<p>-268,372 Test Results Reported <br \/>-11,203 Positives <br \/>-4.17% Positive <br \/>-3,546 Hospitalizations (+48)<br \/>-55 new deaths reported by healthcare facilities through HERDS <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BGFaHiXv5U\">pic.twitter.com\/BGFaHiXv5U<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kathy Hochul (@GovKathyHochul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovKathyHochul\/status\/1469423655700598791?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Some skeptics believe the move will hurt small businesses struggling to recover from the restrictions. However, Hochul claimed she\u2019s actually protecting business owners and that the mandate will be temporary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy plan is to make it temporary. It starts on Monday. We\u2019ll reassess on January 15 just so businesses have a clarity, they don\u2019t find out last minute. We\u2019ve been talking to businesses throughout the week to make sure they know what\u2019s happening,\u201d Hochul affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Statewide case rates have jumped 43 percent per seven-day period, despite 80 percent of New Yorkers having at least one dose of the vaccine.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/small-business-owners-struggle-amid-rising-inflation\/\">Small Business Owners Struggle Amid Rising Inflation<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK, NEW YORK \u2013 NOVEMBER 11: New York Gov.
