NY GOP Leaders Call for End to COVID Restrictions, Governor Says 70% of NYers Must Get Shot First

June 8, 2021 by helpdesk1

New York Assembly and Senate Republicans are calling on the Legislature to end the COVID-19 state of emergency that was declared in March 2020. Assembly Minority Leader Republican Will Barclay says we’re no longer in a state of emergency, but one of recovery…

In his COVID press conference yesterday, governor Andrew Cuomo said most remaining COVID-19 restrictions won’t be lifted unless 70% of adult New Yorkers get their first vaccination dose, but that shouldn’t take too long…

The governor called out several areas around the state that are lacking in COVID shots, among them Monsey, Spring Valley and Monroe in Orange County.

Additionally, the governor said yesterday school districts in New York can now lift the requirement that their students must wear masks outdoors. The use of masks in schools is still required indoors. The new rule comes after a weekend of chaos with regard to mask-wearing in schools. On Friday the Cuomo administration indicated the school mask mandate would be lifted indoors and outdoors as of Monday.

COVID-19 by the numbers now, here in Rockland, we held steady at 961 deaths, no change since yesterday. We’ve got eight hospitalized confirmed with coronavirus, and 124 active cases. Our total case count is 46,905, that’s 23 more than Monday. A total of 219,226 shots have been administered in Rockland.
