Westchester Insider: Westchester County: WESTCHESTER COUNTY EXECUTIVE GEORGE LATIMER STATEMENT.

 

WESTCHESTER COUNTY EXECUTIVE GEORGE LATIMER STATEMENT.

 

 

“We recognize Governor Kathy Hochul for her leadership in announcing a statewide mask mandate.  This pandemic has reached crisis proportions in parts of the state, and we can’t be sure that it won’t rise to equal status in the rest of the state.  The Governor does not make these decisions lightly, and I respect and appreciate her steady hand in these difficult times.  Westchester County will do our professional best to enforce this mask provision. At this point, this is the best move to protect the health of New Yorkers, and to protect the health of the New York State economy. It is far less restrictive than a shutdown of our businesses; it is an action that shows leadership and restraint.”
