New COVID-19 face covering requirements for indoor public areas
Dear Residents,
Please be aware that due to concerns about the rising number of COVID-19 cases, including those caused by variants, New York State has issued new requirements regarding face coverings.
According to these requirements, everyone over the age of 2 must wear a face covering while in a common area of a NYCHA building, regardless of their vaccination status.
Properly wearing an appropriate mask is an effective way to help stop the spread of COVID-19, and we appreciate your cooperation. Click here to learn more about proper use of a face covering. We also urge you to get vaccinated, including your booster shot, if you have not done so already. The vaccine is free and available to everyone age 5 and older.

We wish you and your family a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season!
Sincerely,
Greg Russ
