New mask policies and COVID vaccine requirements are taking effect in New York.

State health officials are requiring face masks at all public and private schools, while US Open officials reversed course and will require fans to show proof of vaccination before entering the grounds.

Mayor Bill de Blasio served up a last-minute vaccine mandate to the US Open on Friday after criticism mounted over the tournament’s decision not to require vaccinations, mask or even a COVID test.
