"We still have more than 500 cases per day, we are on track to see 300 deaths in January. We are not at a place where we would drop the mask mandate," Dr. Bettigole stated.
Dr. Bettigole also added that she and her team have been exploring what the best circumstances would be to consider dropping the mask mandate.
