New York City set a Dec. 27 deadline for all businesses within its limits to make their employees show proof that they have been vaccinated

vaccine mandates for their workers, as the highly transmissible Omicron variant has spread to at least one-third of U.S. states.

“Vaccination is the way out of this pandemic, and these are bold, first-in-the-nation measures to encourage New Yorkers to keep themselves and their communities safe,” de Blasio, who leaves office next month, said in a statement. Over the last week, the country has averaged more than 120,000 new infections a day, up 64 per cent from the prior week, according to a Reuters tally.

A total of several dozen Omicron cases have been found in 18 out of 50 U.S. states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin, according to a Reuters tally.
