Co-host of ABC’s “The View” Joy Behar is not yet ready to stop wearing masks in public places.
During a segment of the show on Thursday, Behar said, “I listen to the little voice in my head that doesn’t really follow 100% of what they tell me because they keep changing it.”
“A very short time ago, they were saying put the N95 masks on…and now they’re saying you don’t have to wear them anymore,” she continued.
Finally, Behar said, “So if I go on the subway, if I go in a bus, if I go into the theater… a crowded place, I would wear a mask, and I might do that indefinitely. Because why do I need the flu or a cold even? And so I’m listening to myself right now. I mean, I don’t think it’s 100 percent safe yet.”

Her comments come as nearly a dozen states announced last week that they will end mask mandates as the average number of new COVID-19 cases has fallen precipitously since last month.
However, New York City, where the show is filmed, still recommends that people wear masks indoors.
Additionally, the federal government still mandates mask-wearing on planes, trains, and other forms of public transportation.
