A Staten Island judge lifted mask mandates for toddlers citywide Friday — but Mayor Eric Adams vowed shortly after to keep the rule in place, citing a new COVID-19 variant and saying the city is appealing the judgement.
The ruling by Richmond County State Supreme Court Judge Ralph Porzio struck down the city rule requiring kids ages 2 to 4 wear masks — rendering it immediately unenforceable in schools and daycares and calling it “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable,” according to court documents.
“It’s effective immediately,” attorney Michael Chessa said Friday after arguing for a permanent injunction of the ongoing face covering requirement. “It strikes down the order from the department of health.”
“All throughout the city every child ages 2 to 4 everywhere doesn’t have to wear a mask,” he said.
But just hours after the judgement, Adams said the city will seek an appeal and requested a stay to keep the controversial rule in place when youngsters return to school Monday.
“I think it’s imperative that due to the rise in cases that we’re seeing, as slight as they are; our plans were to take a week to assess the numbers before removing masks to 2 to 4 year olds,” said Adams.

Eric Adams is a child abuser.
What the heck is it with Adams? He’s nuts?
He’s paying off the Teacher’s Union.
He has been de Blasioed!
Where did Frau Erich get his medical degree?
Leave we the people alone.
Probably a Groomer, too
We were just sitting at an outside tiki bar having a drink when 2 couple entered all wearing masks. Lady next to me says to her husband “Look Democrats” this was in FL. I haven’t seen anyone wearing masks at a restaurant or bar in months.
That is so stupid.
The mask mandates for kids are nothing more than conditioning to teach the kids to comply with government dictates.
They want a compliant, easily led populace who doesn’t fight back.
‘They want a compliant, easily led populace who doesn’t fight back.’
same as governments, schools and churches have wanted for centuries...
the more things change...
He's your typical elected black Democrat. They enjoy all the perks of being in power but will pass the buck when there's a crisis or beg the federal gov't to step in. The guy is literally a complete and utter joke, the male equivalent of Lori Lightfoot.
New Yorkers are nuts and Adams is the squirrel face of the aforementioned nuts.
I think that sums him up. Not very competent and so politically beholden that he doesn’t even dare breathe without the approval of his bosses.
It seems to me like the teachers’ union is controlling the entire country.
