New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has expressed opposition to rehiring workers in her state’s healthcare sector who fell afoul of COVID-19 vaccination requirements and lost their jobs while the pandemic raged.

In comments to the media on Tuesday, Hochul said rehiring unvaccinated workers was not the “right answer.”
