“NYC Mayor Eric Adams lifting mask mandate for kids under 5”

Mask-wearing will soon be optional for New York City toddlers in schools and day care facilities, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday — just as the school year draws to a close in a couple of weeks.

The face-covering mandate for youngsters ages 2 to 4 in public schools and other city-run settings will be lifted beginning Monday, June 13, he revealed in a press release.

The last day of school is June 27.

“I have always said that the science will guide us out of the pandemic, and because we have followed the data, which shows that cases are steadily falling, we‘ve beaten back the latest COVID-19 surge,” Adams said in a prepared statement.

The mayor added that City Hall “strongly” recommends that “New Yorkers of all ages continue to wear masks indoors.”

“I’m with New York City parents and New Yorkers can trust this administration to continue to make the proper public health decisions to keep our kids safe,” he said.
