On December 6, 2021, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a first-in-the-nation vaccination order for private-sector workers in New York City, set to take effect on December 27,.
New York City released details yesterday of its previously announced vaccine mandate requiring that all private sector employees must have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that, effective December 13, 2021, masks will be required to be worn in all indoor public places in New York State unless the business or venue requires proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 as a condition of entry.
We do not know whether any workplaces will be excluded, such as outdoor workplaces, nor how New York City will track compliance or the penalties imposed for violations.
