New York state will adopt the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new mask guidance for fully vaccinated people starting Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.
People two weeks removed from their final Covid-19 vaccine dose no longer need to wear a face mask or stay 6 feet away from others in most settings, whether outdoors or indoors, Cuomo said, following the CDC’s updated pubic health guidance released Thursday.
They will still need to wear a mask when traveling by plane, bus or train as well as in certain places such as at hospitals, schools or at establishments that require them, he said. Unvaccinated people and those with compromised immune systems should continue to wear masks, he said.
