New York's mayor wants to make people take their face masks off following a string of robberies
ew York City, hit hard in the early days of the pandemic, once required all New Yorkers to wear a mask when entering stores until February 2022. A year later, New York Mayor Eric Adams says that masks have become a way for criminals to hide their faces, and they’re asking businesses to enforce indoor mask bans in the city.on Monday, Adams said that the change would help police properly use security cameras to identify those who shoplift and commit serious crimes.
Adams noted that customers could put their masks back on after revealing their faces. “We are putting out a clear call to all of our shops: Do not allow people to enter the store without taking off their face mask,” he said in a radio interview with New York station. “And then once they’re inside, they can continue to wear it if they so desire to do so.”
Matthew Cortland, a senior fellow at the progressive think tank Data for Progress and lawyer who specializes in areas of disability and healthcare says that the measure isn’t a law yet, but it could still be challenged legally.
