In a press conference today, New York governor Andrew Cuomo urged private businesses to mandate vaccination for employees and customers alike. (Additionally, he asked local governments to follow CDC guidance for masks, saying the state can’t mandate one if it’s not law.)
The governor also issued a vaccine mandate for employees of the MTA and Port Authority, saying they will have to be vaccinated by Labor Day or get tested weekly for COVID-19. Last Wednesday, Cuomo announced all state employees will have to get vaccinated on the same timeline, a policy some unions have pushed back against. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new vaccine requirement mandating every new city employee must provide proof of vaccination.
