There are no plans to reinstate mask mandates in New York City just yet, according to the city's health commissioner Dave Chokshi.
Appearing on CNN's New Day program on Friday, Chokshi said city officials will continue to monitor the data regarding the Delta variant of COVID-19—which is driving up case numbers across the country.
Chokshi said the Delta variant now makes up 69 percent of the virus cases being reported in New York City. While cases are on the rise, the health commissioner said the amount of hospitalizations and deaths are not.
