New York City health officials are “strongly urging” residents to wear face masks indoors or among crowds as ‘tridemic’ cases rise.
‘Pandemic’ is out.
‘Tridemic’ is in.
NYC is facing high levels of Covid-19, flu and RSV.
This is not a mandate. It is just an ‘advisory’ – for now.
NBC New York reported:
In the face of high levels of COVID-19, flu, and RSV cases, New York City’s health officials have issued an advisory, strongly urging New Yorkers to use masks.
NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan says that the rise in respiratory viruses is the reason as to why the city’s health office is recommending, not only the use of masks, but also vaccinations and boosters.
The city’s advisory recommends that everyone should wear a mask at all times while indoors, as well as in crowded outdoor settings. City officials also urge those who are sick and unable to separate from others to wear masks. Additionally, those who are COVID-19 positive should wear masks.
“Wear a high-quality mask, such as a KN95 or KF94 or an N95 respirator, for additional protection,” city health officials say.
