The New York City government on Monday issued a new mask advisory “at all times” indoors and expanded the scope of its vaccine mandate to childcare workers, after a new COVID-19 variant of concern called Omicron was announced earlier this month.
Effective immediately, every person in New York is “encouraged to wear a mask in indoor public settings,” regardless of their vaccination status, outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio and Health Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi announced.
