New York drops mask mandate for fully vaccinated

Vaccinated New Yorkers can ditch their masks, even indoors, the New York City marathon is coming back and Radio City Music Hall will reopen to vaccinated audiences, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Monday in a flurry of announcements intended to accelerate the state’s reopening.

“Let’s get back to life,” Cuomo said, speaking from Radio City Music Hall’s grand auditorium. “If you are vaccinated, you are safe. No masks. No social distancing.”

The New York Road Runners announced that it will host 33,000 runners for the 50th running of the 2021 TCS New York City Marathon on November 7.
