I haven't been hearing much about the new variant, at least here in New York City, where most of the restrictions were lifted. We still are required to wear masks on public transit (which is all that I use -- most of us don't have cars), taxi cabs, medical offices (I think that will last forever), Broadway theaters, opera and most concerts. I still carry around my vaccine card, but they just lifted the proof of vax in restaurants.
I have not been eating in restaurants, except for brief visits to pizza place for a slice of pizza. I went to a photo exhibition opening Thursday evening and wore my mask (left on from the subway ride) inside a small space. Masks were not required and I only noticed when I watched replay of a livestream (youtube) that half the people didn't wear masks (the photographers giving the show didn't wear them either).
We are still supposed to wear masks in common areas of my building, so that's every time I leave my apartment and go up or down the 4 flights of stairs. It is not mandated by law, but our management wants us to wear them and have kept up the signs.
