Fox 5 said Monday that while the city is recommending people avoid crowded indoor gatherings and put on a face mask in public indoor settings, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has said he was not yet ready to reinstate an indoor mask mandate.

"As a practical matter, what this means for New Yorkers is that they must exercise even greater caution than they have the last few weeks.
