Last week, Gov. Hochul’s indoor mask mandate was extended through Feb. 10. Michael Carroll says the situation is not fair for children.
“I have a grandchild who’s being forced to wear a mask in school and the teachers don’t,” says Carroll. “It’s not a law and they should stop.”
After the governor extended the mandate, she says a few days before it expires, she would re-evaluate the state’s COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
Rally organizers say there could be more rallies ahead in their fight for freedom of choice.
Cases of COVID-19 have been coming down in the state recently after the Omicron variant swarmed the country.
