New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced that the state’s mask-or-vaccine mandate for most indoor businesses, such as grocery stores and offices, will be lifted, effective on Feb. 10.

“At this time, we think it is the right decision to lift this mandate for indoor businesses and let counties and businesses make their own decisions on what they want to do with respect to masks and vaccination requirements,” Hochul said on Feb. 9.
