Governor Kathy Hochul has extended the mask wearing requirement for children and staff to daycare centers across New York State effective Thursday. They’re also required at state-related programs like outpatient substance abuse and counseling centers.
The order applies to state licensed and registered child-care centers, in-home daycares and after-school programs.
Hochul says everyone is tired of the pandemic and we have the power to end it with masking, the vaccine and boosters.
