New York City’s indoor COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates will be responsibly phased out in the weeks to come, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday.
During a Q&A session with the press in Brooklyn on Feb. 23, the mayor was asked if the city would follow other Northeastern metropolises such as Boston and Philadelphia in rolling back their requirements that people present their vaccination cards or passports and wear masks when visiting a restaurant, bar, office or other indoor business setting as COVID-19 cases have plummeted in recent weeks.
