Kids over the age of 2 will now be required to wear face masks while at day care and day camps, according to new guidance put out by New York state.
This announcement came the same day that fully vaccinated New Yorkers were allowed to ditch their masks while indoors, causing confusion across the board.
Throughout the entire pandemic, toddlers have not been required to wear a mask, but the state said it is now following federal guidance put out earlier this month.
“We tend to follow the federal guidelines,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a press conference on Thursday. “I understand the science, and I understand the data. And that's what drove the federal government to those guidelines. I also understand it is difficult on a number of levels. It's difficult for parents with one child. Can you imagine a child care provider trying to put masks on 3- and 4-year-olds and have them keep them on all day long? So I get it. We're working with the child care providers to see if there's any way we can help."
The state Office of Children and Family Services defended the new policy, saying it is consistent with federal guidance and encouraged as much outdoor programming as possible.
“Child care programs are required to report infection data to the state weekly,” a spokesman said in a statement. “The state’s child care programs continue to report COVID cases in children even as the overall infection rate is going down. State regulators will assist child care providers with complying with the guidance.”
However, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle criticized the move.

Exactly!
A child’s brain is way more active than an adults and requires more oxygen than an adults.
And as a toddler is far more physically active than adults, they are consuming far more oxygen than adults to support their physical activity.
Whomever is supporting this requirement is very uninformed and foolish.
Pure evil. New York takes the cake 🍰
Once in a while, I hear of a child who was born alive, but died because the umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck.
Late term Fetus are very delicate. Same principle with small children. They need constant nourishment, nothing withheld.
Certainly not a full breath of air. This can produce a result of retardation where it did not have to happen.
DISGUSTING!! This is to get them used to being CONTROLLED by the Government!!
So are publik skrewls. The nanny state makes a rotten mommy.
You know how NYSers resist?
They vote with their feet.
BTW, it’s not just Cuomo.
Our legislature isn’t putting a stop to this, is it...
Speaking of Cuomo and from this link, what the bleep is this this...

When my daughter was a toddler I couldn’t force her to wear shoes. I’d tie them up nice and tight....all while she was screaming.....and the minute my back was turned or I wasn’t paying attention she’d have them off. lol
Well yes, in as much the whole thing is about behavioral conditioning and control, not science, we have to start the kids early, of course. /sarc
A kid after my own heart!
;D
Cuomo can make another $5 million writing a book about all the kids damaged by lack of oxygen.
Those ‘book profits’ have got to be some form of pay offs or lobbying. Not that Atty. Gen. Letitia has any time to investigate that sort of thing.
Parents demand answers on daycare face mask policy “Why are we punishing the kids?”
The last two paragraphs say it all.
The title says it all...
Why are we punishing the kids?
Americans see the mask as punishment, not health protection, especially for toddlers. If we follow the behavior science of the toddler, they instinctively know the mask is dangerous to them.
