EXCERPT:
HOCHUL: “I today am announcing that we are enacting a statewide indoor mask mandate unless a business has a vaccination mandate. Many people in New York City are already dealing with this, they are dealing with it for a while, even doing great. And that is why your hospital capacity is good. It's why your vaccination numbers are high. Your infections are not as high as the rest of the state. But the rest of the state now has a wake-up call. I've been warning. I've been saying, if we can’t get more people vaccinated, boosted, I have to protect people but also the economy.”
