The obligation to wear a mask in schools and public spaces decreed by the governor of Ny Kathy Hochul remains in force for now:
this was decided by an appeals court, which temporarily blocked the decision of a judge of the state supreme court (who here has a lower degree) to cancel it for the lack of a legislative endorsement.
Hochul had immediately appealed to keep the obligation pending a formal appeal from her administration.
Judge Robert Miller granted her request and set a new hearing for Friday.
