New York will lift its mask mandate on Wednesday for fully vaccinated people as Covid vaccinations approach 50% of the state’s residents and cases and hospitalizations ebb. “All the arrows are pointed in the right direction, so let’s get back to life,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo in a briefing on Monday. “We need to get the exuberance back, the excitement back.” Cuomo called the easing of the mask mandate a “radical adjustment of rules and guidelines” and said the state took a couple of days to analyze the guidance and align it with its own. Masks will still be required at schools, public transit, correctional facilities and health-care settings. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-17/nyc-marathon-will-come-back-in-november-with-33-000-runners Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm Bloomberg Quicktake brings you live global news and original shows spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
