Mayor Eric Adams on Monday reiterated his aid for , a ban on face masks  , proposed last week by Gov. Kathy Hochul, but he did not explain why people who wear masks out of fear of getting sick may be subject to such a restrictions.
Last Thursday, Hochul advocated for a ban on Zionists ‘ hands on a packed train car after masked pro-Palestinian activists yelled” this is your chance to get out.”
Adams has spoken out against such a move, saying that he has had” many conversations with the chancellor” about it and that he supports a ban on subways and protests. He also spoke at a press conference held by City Hall on Monday.
It’s not new to cover your face when you commit horrible acts. He referred to the Ku Klux Klan as” there were these people that used to walk around with masks in the Deep South.” ” Fools cover their faces. If you believe in someone, then stand up and show your face”.
New demonstrations against Israel’s military response to Hamas ‘ terrorist attacks on October 7 have resulted in the use of masks. In 1845, New York State enacted a moratorium on faces, but that ban was lifted as a result of the COVID pandemic.
Some immunocompromised people continue to wear them in public despite a sharp decline in COVID cases since the pandemic’s level.
When asked how that should be accounted for in a new restrictions, Adams acknowledged that it was” all about the right implementation,” but he did not go into specifics about how that may appear.
Additionally, his press team did n’t respond right away to inquiries about how health factors would be taken into account in a ban.
