New York City, the first U.S. metropolis to require vaccinations indoors, will lift its mandate for indoor businesses, dining and events in the coming days.
Mayor Eric Adams announced Sunday that his administration would end its vaccination mandate requirements on March 7 as long as Covid-19 case numbers continue to trend downward. He joins public officials who made similar decisions in cities such as Seattle and Boston in recent weeks.
The indoor mask mandate will also be lifted in public schools the same day provided no unexpected spikes arise, Adams said.
He noted that more than a million students return to public schools Monday after the midwinter break. A week of commingling on campuses without “unforeseen spikes” in case numbers would confirm the end of mandatory masks for school facilities for now, he said in a statement Sunday.
