Vaccination Campaign Continues In New York, US – 03 Aug 2021
New York (77WABC) — As of today proof of a COVID-19 vaccination is required for indoor dining, entertainment and fitness facilities across the five boroughs of NYC. NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled the policy in early August, as the “Key to NYC,” program. The program is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation.
“More and more businesses have already adopted our Key to NYC requirements – and are becoming public health heroes in the process,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “I thank each and every one of them for doing their part to keep New York City safe. My message to New Yorkers is clear: if you want to enjoy everything New York City has to offer, get vaccinated today.”
Acceptable proof of vaccination includes at least three options: a CDC-issued vaccination card, the New York State Excelsior Pass, and the NYC COVID Safe App, which allows those vaccinated out of New York State to show proof of their status.
