CNN
New York will no longer require students to wear masks in schools beginning on Wednesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Sunday, citing steep declines in Covid-19 hospitalizations statewide.
Individual counties and cities with higher transmission rates may still require masks in schools, and parents and guardians may also still choose to send children to schools in masks, said Hochul.
"My friends, the day has come," Hochul said, while emphasizing that the decision was made in consultation with the city's department of health and education officials.
