New York City Will No Longer Require Vaccinations For Businesses And Events
In the coming days, New York City, the first U.S. city to require immunizations indoors, will lift its requirement for indoor businesses, restaurants, and activities.
Mayor Eric Adams declared on Sunday that his government would stop requiring vaccinations on March 7 if Covid-19 case counts continue to decline. In recent weeks, leaders in places such as Seattle and Boston have made similar judgments.
If no unexpected spikes occur, the indoor mask restriction will be lifted in public schools on the same day, according to Adams.
He mentioned that following the midwinter break, more than a million kids will return to public schools on Monday.
A week of mixing on campuses with no "unexpected surges" in case numbers would signal the end of the campaign.
