NYC Mandates COVID Vaccination Proof For Indoor Settings

First major U.S. city to introduce the requirement.

Anyone visiting or living in New York City will soon have to show proof of vaccination with either their vaccine card or an app called "Excelsior Pass." "The only way to patronize these establishments indoors will be if you're vaccinated, at least one dose," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. A remarkable move in the fight against the COVID-19 Delta variant, New York City becomes the first major U.S. city to require anyone who goes into restaurants, gyms and all entertainment venues to be vaccinated.
