Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to announce a new policy that requires residents to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination to dine inside restaurants, work out at a gym, attend a play or go out dancing
NEW YORK — Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new policy Tuesday that requires people to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination to dine inside restaurants, work out at a gym, attend a play or go out dancing.
De Blasio’s announcement marks one of the most aggressive steps taken by an elected official to combat a rise in Covid-19 cases caused by the Delta variant. In late July, the mayor mandated that unvaccinated city hospital workers and clinical staff at the city health department submit to a weekly Covid-19 test —— and that city employment for new hires is contingent on vaccination.
The official added that New York City wants to “lead the nation in this regard.” The move is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation for a big city. About 60 percent of all New Yorkers are partially vaccinated, though vaccination rates lag in Staten Island and Brooklyn, as well as among Black New Yorkers. Thirty-five percent of Black New Yorkers are partially vaccinated, compared with 76 percent of Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders, according to city data.
