NYC Set to Lift Vaccine Mandate Soon

Over this past weekend, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that a dramatic drop in covid numbers could lead to the lifting of vaccine mandates on restaurants, bars, and theaters as soon as March 7th. Mayor Adams announcement came shortly after Governor Kathy Hochul announced the mask mandate being lifted for schools.

Mayor Adams stated; “At the end of this week, we will evaluate the numbers and make a final announcement on Friday. If we see no unforeseen spikes and our numbers continue to show a low level of risk, New York City will remove the indoor mask mandate for public school children, effective next Monday, March 7…Additionally, New York City’s numbers continue to go down day after day, so, as long as COVID indicators show a low level of risk and we see no surprises this week, on Monday, March 7 we will also lift Key2NYC requirements. This will give business owners the time to adapt and will allow us to ensure we are making the best public health decisions for the people of New York.”
