New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Friday that masking will continue in "all settings with children under 5 years of age," including in classrooms.
Adams previously announced that masking would no longer be required for children in schools K-12 starting March 7.
The mayor also revealed a new COVID-19 "alert level" system, which concludes that New York is currently at low-risk for community spread.
Many on Twitter said the decision was "child abuse."
Joel Petlin, a school superintendent who has been outspoken on the matter, pointed to World Health Organization (WHO) guidance that came out 18 months ago, which said that it was unnecessary to mask kids under the age of 5. He called on Adams to "unmask the preschoolers."
Another said people should "escape from New York" while they still can.

Anybody ever try to get a kid under 5 to keep a mask on?
I thought there were exceptions for those who couldn’t manage a mask.
Duct tape.
Has anyone noticed there’s this almost pyschopathic way liberals want to keep young kids masked?
That is so inaccurate.
Stalinazis are control freaks.
What’s inaccurate about it?
When they do really dumb things and try to give dumber reasons.. They have a more sinister plan in mind..
Remember when barry said about others..
“When is enough money, enough”.
Hes sure living high among the high..
Now days...
I look at all those in the big expensive global circle..
And excuse my thoughts.. But..
They have a dreadful and awful end.. If they dont change.
You must be a teacher.....
Crap. Wrong reply. Disregard please,
Please see post 11
They just hate kids that they didn’t get with abortion. Nothing more.
This Covid obsession thing is beyond tiresome. No one I know has worn a face diaper in the last 6 months. My wife and I never wore them except in places where we might be mugged by Stepford Wives for not doing so.
New Yorkers voted for him. So they’re happy.
Plant-based mayor.
He may not be much or any smarter than De Blasio but he has black going for him.
All this is is making Karen teachers and administrators little nazi mask enforcers.
They like doing it because of the power and feeling important, but thats not the point.
If you are Japanese and are offended, remember, it could have meant, 'Jewish American Princess', get over it.

It is not offensive and it is not a word that can only spoken by a protected group.
