Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday rolled out details on the COVID-19 vaccine requirement for many indoor settings in the five boroughs that will take effect Tuesday and will be enforced in mid-September.

The proof of vaccine to enter requirement, dubbed the Key to NYC, will apply to indoor restaurants, bars, museums and movie theaters, but not to places such as office buildings, community and senior centers as well as outdoor dining areas.
