New York City Mayor Eric Adams Friday announced that the city’s vaccine passport system and school mask mandates will expire on Monday, March 7.

The mayor’s decision comes as a number of other Democrat-led cities, municipalities, and states have dropped COVID-19-related rules in recent weeks. They have cited a drop in the number of COVID-19 cases nationwide.
