Relayed by Bloomberg, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s announcement comes at a time when the authorities are up against the wall. The vaccine campaign is not progressing well and the Delta variant worries the authorities.
According to data from the University of Oxford, 37% of New Yorkers have yet to receive a vaccine, and only 54% of residents are fully immunized.
