YONKERS: Families in the city of hills are still recovering from the COVID pandemic, but with mixed signals from federal and state officials on mask requirements, residents are balancing their own judgments on public health and face-covering etiquette.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed its guidance on mask wearing last week.

The CDC said last week that masks are no longer necessary if you’ve been fully vaccinated, a guidance New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the state would be following as of Wednesday, when restaurants expand capacity.

But. many residents in the city of hills say they’ll continue to wear masks, at least indoors, even if they’ve been inoculated, even after most restrictions end on Wednesday.

Technically New York is on the honor system to determine who’s vaccinated.

Yonkers schools will continue to maintain masking, as most students have not been vaccinated.
