Governor Hochul says she's not planning to issue any statewide mandates to deal with the growing number of coronavirus cases across New York.
The governor said Thursday that she's continuing to urge people to wear a mask and get vaccinated in order to keep the illness from spreading. However, Hochul said she isn't opposed to putting mandates in place if infections keep increasing, but believes doing so now would be an overreaction. Several cases of the Omicron variant have been found in New York, but the governor says there's no need to panic.
