New York governor to order school mask mandate, pushing for tougher vaccine rules
Fox News
Newly sworn-in New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called for statewide mask mandates in schools and tougher COVID-19 vaccine requirements Tuesday, her first day on the job following the resignation of Gov. Andrew Cuomo amid sexual harassment allegations.
"None of us want a rerun of last year’s horrors with COVID-19, therefore we will take proactive steps to prevent that from happening," she said. "To accomplish this in New York, we need partnerships with all levels of government and I’m working now on getting this done." Hochul said she would announce a series of policies related to schools later this week that will be "concise and consistent" and would give school districts "what they have been asking for."More Related News
