“Masks will be required as of Monday in all indoor public spaces in New York State that do not require vaccination for entry, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Friday, as the state grapples with a spike in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations,” the New York Times reports.
“The new requirement means that shops, restaurants and venues will require patrons to be masked unless their employees check that those entering the premises are fully vaccinated.”
