New York City is to require customers and staff of restaurants, gyms and other indoor businesses to have had Covid-19 vaccinations.
But some areas, which are largely poor communities, and communities of colour, have lower vaccination rates. The policy, which is similar to measures taken in France to try to help slow down the spread of coronavirus, will be enforced from 13 September.As part of the initiative, the city is creating the "Key to NYC Pass" to provide proof of vaccination to workers and patrons at gyms, restaurants and entertainment venues, the mayor said.
