Recently, Nassau County Executive Bruce A. Blakeman was joined by Plaintiff Michael Demetriou, Parents, Students, and School Board leaders to update residents on the status of COVID-19 in Nassau County, and discuss the decision of the NYS Appellate Court to extend the stay on school mask mandates until March 2nd.
“COVID cases are down 86% state-wide yet the Governor refuses to even tell residents, business owners, parents, students, and school boards what metric must be reached to lift her unconstitutional mandate. The Governor should adhere to the law, follow the science, and allow local officials to decide what is best for their hometown communities. Nassau is not in crisis and shouldn’t be painted with the same broad brush as the rest of New York State.” County Executive Blakeman said.
