winning
Starting Monday, New Yorkers will no longer need to show proof of vaccination for indoor activities like dining and kids wont have to wear face masks in school anymore, Mayor Adams announced as coronavirus infections continue to drop statewide.
The rollback of the pandemic precautions was expected, as Adams said earlier this week that the indoor Key2NYC vaccine mandate and school masking requirement would go away this Monday barring an unforeseen spike in COVID-19 cases.

This is truly an Arnold Schwarzenegger moment. Well be back, Adams said, adding that he believes scrapping the restrictions is about getting our economy back on track.
