NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Imposes Statewide Mask Mandate, Violators Face Criminal Penalties, $1,000 Fine
Courts may have temporarily suspended the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate, but tyrannical lawmakers are doubling down on the assault on medical autonomy in blue states around the country.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul reinstated the statewide indoor maks mandate on Friday, warning New Yorkers who fail to comply with the mandate will face a $1,000 fine.
In a press conference, Hochul warned New York would require another lockdown if its residents failed to wear the masks in all indoor venues.
“I don’t want to go back ever again to where people couldn’t go to their jobs safely, couldn’t congregate. Kids couldn’t go to school. That isolation had a devastating effect on the human condition and we are still dealing with the fallout today,” she said.
