Masking indoors in public or on public transportation is now recommended across the five boroughs, on Long Island, and in several of the city's northern suburbs.
New York is currently battling a so-called "tripledemic," as COVID-19 cases continue to rise, along with cases of the flu and RSV.On December 9, New York City health officials "strongly" recommended people wear a mask in public indoor settings but have not mandated their use.
"Embrace the holidays, but not let our guard down. That is the message of today," Governor Hochul said earlier this month. "So we're going to continue alerting the public on what's going on. We're not out of the woods, the threat is real." In the beginning of December, New York had already seen a 76% increase in flu cases in New York, while the state's 7-day COVID positivity rate currently stands at between 10 and 14.9%.
