WHITE PLAINS, NY (September 7, 2022) — Effective immediately, masks will no longer be required on Westchester County Bee-Line Buses, and Bee-Line ParaTransit.
Earlier today, New York Governor Kathy Hochul removed the mask requirement on public transportation. New York State still requires masks at health facilities, including nursing homes.
What they are saying:
Westchester County Executive George Latimer:“Largely steady COVID rates are making COVID part of our new reality, but not an illness that should impact our day-to-day life as it did two years ago. As always, those who feel more comfortable wearing a mask should do so, but that is a choice not a mandate.”
Latimer is still encouraging those who are eligible to receive the fourth COVID-19 vaccine.
