Hochul said she discussed the mandate with acting Health Commissioner of New York Dr. Mary Bassett. Bassett will make the recommendation to the state\u2019s Public Health and Health Planning Council at a special meeting being held on Jan. 11. Hochul said she \u201canticipates swift approval\u201d and the mandate will take effect \u201cimmediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hochul\u2019s announcement comes after New York registered&nbsp;84,202 additional coronavirus cases in the previous day, with&nbsp;130 new coronavirus fatalities and more than 11,000 hospital admissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still have hospitalizations increasing,\u201d Hochul acknowledged. \u201cBut I always ask, \u2018What do these numbers actually mean?
