De Blasio to require city employees to get vaccinated or be tested weekly
Fox News
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday that he is requiring all New York City employees to be vaccinated – or tested once per week for COVID-19 – by Sept. 13, and said the city will step up its enforcement of its mask mandate for unvaccinated workers, threatening "very tough" consequences.
"On Sept. 13 the entire city workforce will be mandated under the COVID safety mandate to either get vaccinated, which is far preferable, or get tested once a week," de Blasio said. "This is about our recovery… this is about keeping people safe." The mayor cited school returning in September, major employers bringing back their employees to New York City offices and the return of many residents who leave town for the summer as reasons for the timing of the new rule.More Related News
