NYC to Require Vaccinations for Museums, Stadiums, Casinos
(Bloomberg) -- New York City is expanding its vaccine mandate to museums and other entertainment and cultural institutions, requiring both visitors and staff to have at least their first Covid-19 shot starting on Tuesday.
The move announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio during a briefing on Monday expands an earlier vaccine requirement issued for indoor dining that goes into effect this week. The newest rules cover sports stadiums, casinos, movie theaters and concert halls, among other venues.
De Blasio’s gambit puts a national and international spin on his efforts to boost vaccinations in the most-populous U.S. city. Many of the attractions under the latest mandate are among those that New York has relied upon to attract tourists by the tens of millions as one of its economic pillars. Now, the mayor wants to send a message that residents and visitors have to be vaccinated in order to fully partake in New York City’s cultural and entertainment offerings.
“The key to New York City is an approach that starts with vaccination,” de Blasio said. “We want you to enjoy New York City but you need to be vaccinated to do it.”
