New York City officials say private sector vax mandates are ‘indefinite’
New York City plans to indefinitely continue the city’s vaccine mandate for private-sector employees who work on-site and will continue to enforce an in-school mask mandate for children aged 5 and under.
On Friday, the city’s new health commissioner, Ashwin Vasan, said he did not have any specific benchmark or timeline in mind for when the city would lift the private-sector vaccine requirement, the Epoch Times reported.
He said, “I would love to sit here and say I can give you a date or a data point to say when we would lift those things. Right now, we are in a low-risk environment and we will continue to evaluate that data.”
When asked specifically whether the city had any metrics in mind, Vasan said, “I think it’s indefinite at this point.”
“People who have tried to predict what will happen in the future for this pandemic have repeatedly found egg on their face, as they say,” he added, “And I’m not going to do that here today.” – READ MORE
