Breaking: Masks will no longer be required for children ages 2-4 starting April 4 -- as long as the risk stays low, Mayor Adams says. Watch live now on CBS News New York
New York City students ages 2 though 4 will no longer be required to wear masks in schools and child care settings starting April 4.
Mayor Eric Adams and Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan made the announcement Tuesday morning. They said the mandate will be lifted, as long as the risk level stays low. "We can't go by the noise, we have to go by the science, and we have to go by the safety of our children," Adams said."We want to see our babies' faces."
"Whatever we require as a city, some children and some parents will choose to stay masked, and some will not. Let's be respectful of whatever choice families make," Vasan added."Let's be kind to each other when it comes to how we each manage our own risk. You don't know what life circumstances someone might be accounting for in their choice to remain masked. Let's remember that our shared experiences over the past two years should be a bond, not a wedge.
