NYC’s proof of vaccination requirement for indoor activities kicks off this coming Monday, August 16.
Soon, New Yorkers won’t be able to dine indoors, go to the gym, go to an indoor performance or concert, etc., without first showing proof of vaccination. The new policy goes into effect Monday, but will begin a “transition period” of sorts with enforcement not starting until September 13.
Still, some businesses have begun adopting the vaccine requirement early. Mayor de Blasio applauded them in a press conference this week.
“Early adopters of the Key to NYC program are public health heroes. Their leadership and fast action sends a powerful message: New Yorkers will do everything in our power to keep each other safe and defeat COVID-19,” he said in a press statement. “Mass vaccination is the only way to stop the spread – and these businesses are giving New Yorkers more reasons than ever to protect themselves and their communities. I’m proud to stand with them.”
Here they are, so be prepared to show proof if you head to one of these spots between now & Monday!
