County execs urge governor to adopt CDC guidance

MID-HUDSON – County executives across the Hudson Valley are urging Governor Cuomo to adopt the CDC’s guidance for fully vaccinated residents. That would allow those residents to take off their masks in many situations. The governor has said he is having the state’s own experts study the guidance before taking any action.
In a joint statement on Sunday from Rockland County Executive Ed Day, Dutchess Executive Marc Molinaro, Orange Executive Steve Neuhaus, Putnam Executive MaryEllen Odell, Ulster Executive Patrick Ryan and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, they said New York “needs to follow the science-backed guidance of the CDC.”
The officials said, “As we continue to see active cases, hospitalizations and deaths steadily dropping day by day and more people receiving vaccinations, the governor should implement the CDC’s common-sense guidance.”
They also urged residents who have not been vaccinated “to make that a priority so efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 can be successful.”
