New mask mandates and rules cascaded Tuesday and Wednesay following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance that vaccinated people in high-transmission areas should still wear masks indoors, bringing back pandemic health restrictions for many Americans.

Cuomo, meanwhile, emphasized the importance of vaccines Wednesday by mandating them for state workers.

"We got this less than 24 hours ago, we really want to make sure we look at all the issues," de Blasio continued at a press conference."Our number one focus by far is on vaccination." Multiple de Blasio health officials also seemed reluctant to again mandate masks, highlighting that the CDC has not yet provided the scientific justification for its new guidelines.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky explained that the reason for the CDC's reversal on indoor masking for vaccinated people is because"in rare occasions, some vaccinated people infected with the delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and pass the virus to others."The move comes despite the fact that COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death.
