New Yorkers stepped up and helped us save lives by reaching unprecedented levels of vaccination. I also want to thank Governor Hochul for her partnership in the fight against COVID-19 and for making clear that parents should be part of this conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, New York City\u2019s numbers continue to go down day after day, so, as long as COVID indicators show a low level of risk and we see no surprises this week, on Monday, March 7 we will also lift Key2NYC requirements. This will give business owners the time to adapt and will allow us to ensure we are making the best public health decisions for the people of New York.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Adams added mask mandates for school children could be lifted so long as there are no unforeseen spikes and numbers continue to show low-level risks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur schools have been among the safest places for our children since the beginning of the pandemic, and we will continue to make the proper public health decisions to keep our kids safe,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n<p>Vaccine mandates will still be place in New York City, noted Adams, hailing them as \u201cvital to protecting New Yorkers.\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state of New York will lift its school mask mandate on Wednesday, marking a potential end to the Empire State\u2019s coronavirus restrictions.
