Glens Falls Mayor S. William Collins issued a statement today on the City’s mask policy; “The City of Glens Falls will be following the lead of Governor Hochul and the Warren County Health Department in the lifting of mask mandates this week. At the same time, we are encouraging responsible mask wearing where appropriate, particularly indoors. Relative to other areas of New York State our area still has a high testing rate of 8.4% when the state-wide average is 3.2%-- this is a significant difference. We want our city and county residents to get vaccinated, get boosted, take reasonable precautions, come together and stay safe with the hope the pandemic is beginning to draw down.”
