‘I look forward to getting rid of the masks’: Mayor-elect Adams eyes cautious end to mask mandates in NYC schools

Mayor-elect Eric Adams offered hope on Sunday that the days of children being forced to wear masks in New York City public schools may soon come to an end.

During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Adams indicated that he would be open to lifting the mask mandates in public schools sometime in 2022, provided it can be done safely and that COVID-19 cases continue to fall.
