New York Mayor Eric Adams said he wants the city to move in the next few weeks toward phasing out its proof-of-vaccination requirement for patrons of restaurants, bars and other indoor spaces.
The city began the vaccine policy, also known as “Key to NYC,” last fall, requiring residents to show proof of at least one Covid-19 vaccination for most indoor activities.
