Governor Cuomo says the spread of the Delta COVID variant is a serious situation. He is urging businesses require that their patrons show proof of vaccination.
Governor Cuomo no longer has the emergency authority to impose broad vaccination and mask mandates, but he is strongly urging businesses and local authorities to act now to slow the spread of the Delta variant. He says local governments need to follow the mask recommendations from the CDC.
If the case numbers keep rising, Cuomo says there should be a mandatory vaccination requirement for teachers.
