Unvaccinated city workers will be required to wear a mask indoors at their workplaces, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday, vowing to “remove” workers who don’t comply with the new rule and suspend them without pay.
“If you are unvaccinated and you are a city employee, beginning on Monday, you must either wear a mask indoors at your worksite at all times,” de Blasio said Monday at his daily remote press briefing, “or if you prefer not to, you must immediately go get vaccinated.”
The policy goes into effect next Monday, Aug. 2, and mandates that city workers that want to go mask-free provide “documented proof” of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, the mayor said.
“Only with documented proof of vaccination does one have the option to forgo a face covering,” de Blasio said.
