On Tuesday, for instance, Adams announced that the city will be reversing its mask mandate for toddlers in daycare centers come April 4.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Kyrie Irving, Adams, who typically has encouraged the basketball star to just get vaccinated, changed his tone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">\u201cAs we stated, the name of the game is that we\u2019re not going to be heavy-handed with the private sector mandate,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to run around the buildings and check vaccine cards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">\u201cIf Kyrie Irving is practicing, I\u2019m not at the sports facility.
