Mayor Bill de Blasio

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the expansion Monday amid yet another COVID surge driving case rates up across the five boroughs.

NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio said that Times Square will be open for New Years Eve, but only for vaccinated people.

The city’s mandate ordering all New York City school staff to be vaccinated by next week hit another roadblock after a federal appeals court issued a temporary injunction three days before the mayor’s deadline.
