NEW YORK - New York state will end its requirement that masks be worn in health care settings, including hospitals and nursing homes, starting Sunday, health officials announced on Friday.
New York City’s public hospital system will continue to require that masks be worn in its facilities, an official said in a statement. “If there’s anything we learned in the last three years, it’s that nursing homes and other health facilities are the absolute last place you want to be in a pandemic,” the groups wrote in their letter, adding that the decision to end the mandate would “put disabled people, older people and everyone else at greater risk from this often-deadly disease.”
