New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday stood firm in his reluctance to reinstate both the city's indoor mask mandate and similar face covering requirements for schools.
Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark shared a letter she sent this week to both Mastercard and Visa, urging them to cut ties with ghost gun sellers.
Any announcement regarding the potential reinstatement of the indoor mask mandate would be made after the mayor meets with his health advisors in the mornings, he added. Asked about former Mayor Bill de Blasio advisor Dr. Jay Varma constantly weighing in on Adams administration policy, the mayor thanked him for his service but didn't mince words.
"I'm hoping the doctor will respect my role as being the mayor," Adams said."I'm hoping he will respect that and not constantly weigh in and allow us to do the job that we supported when he was the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene commissioner."notes particular importance for people who are at high risk of severe illness and death, namely those who are over 65 or who are unvaccinated.
"We recommend that everyone age 2 and older wear a well-fitting mask in all public indoor settings, including at school and early childhood education programs, even if not required," the letter read."Encourage your child to wear a mask while at school or ECE program and when gathering with friends. Your child's school has masks available."ALSO READ |
