Masks are also not required on school buses or vans. However, when potential exposure and after 5 days of isolation, masks should continue to be worn in busses/vans and at school for days 6-10.
Businesses/Organizations:
- It is up to individual businesses to determine and enforce mask wearing. The public is expected to comply.
Masking Requirements still in effect at:
- state-regulated healthcare settings;
- homeless shelters;
- state-regulated adult care facilities;

NYS will continue to distribute tests, masks, vaccines, and retain the flexibility to re-examine and make adjustments as needed.
NYS will not stand for harassment against anyone or business that still choses to wear or require masks.
