All restaurants, gyms and indoor entertainment venues in New York City will require proof of at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, the city's mayor announced Tuesday, August 3.

During a live broadcast posted on his Twitter account, Mayor Bill de Blasio told New Yorkers that the policy would come into effect over the next few weeks, adding: "If you want to participate in our society fully, you've got to get vaccinated."


In an attempt to vaccinate more people, the city offered a US$100 incentive for people to get their first COVID-19 vaccine dose. The mayor said that 11,000 New Yorkers chose to get vaccinated in the first few days of the incentive plan.

De Blasio also offered a warning to those reluctant to get vaccinated.

He said, "If you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things."
