Electronic letters were sent out from OCFS this week regarding the mask mandate in child care settings.![]()
![]()
As you may have heard by now, a State Supreme Court judge ruled yesterday that New York State’s December 10, 2021, mask mandate was improper and should be struck down. Litigation is ongoing.![]()
![]()
The mandate that was struck down on January 24, 2022, was the one issued by emergency regulations filed by the State Department of Health on December 10, 2021. That mandate required masks in specific settings, such as healthcare facilities and schools, as well as in all indoor venues and business without a vaccine mandate in place.![]()
![]()
Mask mandates, however, are still required in child care settings licensed, registered, or enrolled by the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). The OCFS mandate was implemented by emergency regulation on September 16, 2021.![]()
![]()
If you have any questions, please contact your regulator. ![]()
