New York City is taking steps so that Broadway can reopen safely in September, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
Over the next month, the city will set up a vaccination site dedicated for theater workers. It is planning pop-up testing units near the venues, and is developing plans to manage crowds before and after performances, de Blasio said Thursday during a press briefing.
