Her office backtracked last week after the Democrat governor suggested that the state would also send state&nbsp;<\/span>inspectors to provide \u201cspot checks\u201d for counties to ensure compliance. Her office later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/21\/ny-governors-office-backtracks-after-hochul-announces-state-led-spot-checks-for-mask-compliance\/\">clarified<\/a> that enforcement will be done \u201cby local health departments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York City, specifically, is under even more stringent rules thanks to Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/27\/mayor-de-blasio-110-convinced-vaccine-mandate-on-private-sector-the-right-thing-to-do\/\">mandating<\/a> vaccines on private sector employees and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/06\/bill-de-blasios-ultimatum-parents-get-your-child-vaccinated-or-cannot-go-indoor-restaurants\/\">requiring<\/a> children as young as 5 to provide proof of vaccination in order to participate in basic activities, such as dining at an indoor restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>In D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/20\/d-c-reinstates-indoor-mask-mandate-forces-boosters-for-city-employees\/\">reintroduced<\/a> coronavirus restrictions as well, reinstating the city\u2019s mask mandate yet again, which will last at least until January 31, 2022:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2) Reinstate the indoor mask mandate. <\/p>\n<p>Beginning Tuesday, December 21st at 6 AM, the indoor mask mandate will be reinstated until 6 AM on January 31, 2022. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iCEvNeih9c\">pic.twitter.com\/iCEvNeih9c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mayor Muriel Bowser (@MayorBowser) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MayorBowser\/status\/1472973842523983876?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 20, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, Bowser is now forcing \u201call employees, contractors, interns, and grantees of DC Government\u201d to be fully vaccinated and boosted, with \u201cno test-out option\u201d available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restriction-heavy Washington, DC, and New York are reporting the highest daily average of coronavirus cases per capita in the United States, Tuesday\u2019s data found.
