New York authorities have offered to serve only vaccinated in restaurants
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo urged private business representatives to serve only coronavirus-vaccinated visitors, a press conference with his participation was broadcast on his personal website.
According to him, such rules are already in force at stadiums and music halls. The authorities made this decision due to the spread of the delta variant, which accounts for 83% of infections.
At the same time, according to the CDC report on the situation with the coronavirus in Provincetown, Massachusetts, even vaccinated people can become infected with the delta variant and become its distributors.
In New York, masking remains a recommendation at the state level, but Mayor Bill de Blasio has urged on his Twitter to re-use masks indoors for all citizens, regardless of vaccination status.
Earlier, White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said that the US authorities did not intend to reintroduce lockdown in the country due to the spread of the new delta coronavirus strain.
According to the latest data, more than 160 million people in the United States have received coronavirus vaccinations, which is just under 50% of the country's population.
