Governor Hochul says health and safety protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 may return if infection numbers keep rising statewide.
In Buffalo Tuesday, the governor didn't reveal exactly what guidelines would be put in place or when they could go into effect. She's still urging people who haven't been vaccinated against the virus to get their shot and says those who have been immunized need to get a booster shot. The governor has promised that she'd talk to the state health commissioner about easing mask rules in schools if the state gets through the holidays without a big spike in cases.
