New York City Mayor Eric Adams will lift the city’s vaccine mandate for indoor businesses, dining and events if Covid cases continue on a downward trend.
“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,” Adams announced. “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.”
