NEW YORK -- New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio “strongly” urged even vaccinated people to start wearing masks indoors. So I don’t have any legal authority to mandate,” Cuomo said of a mask mandate. Calls for a revived mask mandate in New York have grown louder as local numbers rise. We need an indoor mask mandate now — we needed it a week ago before the CDC issued their directive.”New York City already requires face coverings in public schools and public transportation. De Blasio announced last week that city employees would have to get coronavirus vaccines by mid-September or face weekly COVID-19 testing.
