ALERT: Mayor Adams declares local state of emergency in NYC due to monkeypox outbreak -
New York City Mayor Eric Adams issued an emergency executive order today declaring a local state of emergency in the city due to the monkeypox outbreak.“As the monkeypox outbreak continues to grow in New York City and across the country, I am today issuing an emergency executive order declaring a local state of emergency. New York City now has over 1,200 reported cases, approximately 25 percent of cases nationally, and we are continuing to see the numbers rise.
The separate public health declaration of emergency issued on Saturday by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene allows DOHMH Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan to issue commissioner’s orders amending provisions of the New York City Health Code to protect public health and slow the spread.Some of the initiatives these orders will do is make more health care professionals qualified to give out the vaccine and make getting the shot simpler.
Many New Yorkers and health care experts have said that the supply of the vaccine has not been able to keep up with demand. New York City is expected to receive 80,000 doses of the vaccine in the coming weeks and months, which, along with the new orders, city leaders hope will keep cases at bay.The governor reports that one in four cases of monkeypox in the whole country are in New York.
