New Year’s Eve will still be held in Times Square, but limited to about 15,000 people to allow for more distancing, and everyone in attendance must show proof of vaccination and wear a mask, Mayor de Blasio says.
Because of vaccinations, hospitalizations and deaths from the current surge are far fewer than at the pandemic’s height.
Little more than a month ago, de Blasio gleefully announced that a fully vaccinated crowd of hundreds of thousands of people would be back at the iconic celebration — donning goofy 2022-themed glasses and watching a crystal-clad ball drop at midnight — after it was limited last year to small groups of essential workers.
