New York will relax mask rules for kids and adults at schools and camps while indoors unless federal health officials provide data that suggests the move is unsafe, Health Commissioner Howard Zucker wrote in a letter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday.
The change in guidance would take effect in New York on Monday, June 7, Zucker wrote in the letter. Under the state's proposed guidance outlined by Zucker, indoor mask wearing will be strongly encouraged, but not required for students, campers and adults who are not fully vaccinated. Outdoors, masks will not be required.
"Both indoors and outdoors, students, campers and staff who are fully vaccinated do not need to wear masks," Zucker wrote.
But schools and camps can individually implement stricter standards if they choose, according to the letter.
