NYC Mayor Eric Adams Appears Maskless After Defending Mask Mandates in Schools

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) appeared maskless on Sunday, smiling gleefully with a group of people during a meeting in the city roughly two weeks after he vowed to “follow the science” and keep mask mandates in the city’s public schools after a New York Supreme Court judge struck down Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) mandate as “unconstitutional.”

“Earlier today the Belmont BID welcomed @nycmayor, NYC Council Members, @nycsmallbiz and @thenycalliance to Arthur Avenue to speak with our restaurateurs about the outdoor dining program and issues the industry is facing,” Bronx Little Italy posted to Instagram on Sunday. Adams is not wearing a mask in any of the nine photos, which show him in several different environments, both outdoor and indoor.
