To attend indoor venues, New York residents will have to show proof of vaccination, such as through their vaccine card or a pre-existing state app.
The announcement comes as public bodies and private businesses in the United States step up vaccine requirements as the country battles the highly infectious Delta variant.
There will not be a specific pass, rather residents will just have to show proof of vaccination, such as through their vaccine card or a pre-existing state app New York state will require all "public-facing" health care workers to get vaccinated from September, and all of the state's tens of thousands of employees to show proof of vaccination or face weekly tests.
Executive director Andrew Rigie said in a statement that while the mandate will pose "economic and operational challenges" to restaurants it may help "ensuring that New York City does not revert to restrictions and shut down orders that would again absolutely devastate small businesses that have not yet recovered from the pandemic."
