Both California and New York City will require state workers to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
In New York, by mid-September, all city workers must be vaccinated or face weekly testing for Covid-19. Around 340,000 municipal workers are expected to be affected by this bill, including firefighters, NYPD, and teachers.
For high-risk workers in health care, the mandate goes into effect on August 16th.
New York City’s mayor, when announcing the new mandate, encouraged private businesses to require employees to get vaccinated.
For New Yorkers who are vaccinated or tested negative, de Blasio announced plans for a new “NYC COVID Safe” app that would allow users to show their status. The app is set to debut on August 2 as an additional tool to paper vaccination cards and the state’s Excelsior Pass.

California is expected to enforce its new mandate next month. Los Angeles has already reinstated its indoor mask mandate for everyone regardless of vaccination status.
