Cuomo Sets Vaccination Goal For Lifting COVID Restrictions, Keeps Indoor School Mask Mandate

Democratic Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that most COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted when 70% of New Yorkers have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, but the indoor mask mandate for schools will remain in place.

Cuomo tweeted on Monday, “Most remaining COVID restrictions will be lifted when 70% of adult New Yorkers have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine. We’re only 1.4% away from hitting that goal. Get vaccinated.”
