New York City schools will still require masks despite state guidance allowing localities to lift masking mandates Monday for schools and summer camps.
The end of the in-school masking mandate was revealed Friday in a letter from State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker to Rochelle P. Walensky, director of the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.
No one will be required to wear masks inside of schools or outdoors, Zucker wrote. However, people who are unvaccinated will be “strongly encouraged” to mask up inside, while the same will be suggested for unvaccinated people who are outdoors in “higher-risk” outdoor situations. The CDC defines this as being in close contact with others.
This new guidance will still allow schools and camps to impose stricter rules, Zucker wrote.
