New York City will have new guidance on indoor masking early next week, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday, and he hinted at a further tightening of restrictions that would exclude the unvaccinated from spaces and events. "We're gonna provide further guidance at the beginning of next week," De Blasio said of indoor masking, adding that the city didn't want to confuse its messaging and wanted to maintain its primary focus on vaccines. "Our focus is vaccination. We want to make sure everything we do in guiding the people of this city conforms with vaccination," the mayor said. De Blasio also acknowledged a future where there would be more restrictions on where people could go and what they could do if they were not vaccinated, particularly if vaccination rates don't start rising. "If people still hesitate, we're going to be climbing that ladder faster and more. I think you're going to see in short order more and more activities be only for vaccinated folks," he said.

New York, like other states, has seen a rising number of coronavirus cases linked to the delta variant: New infections have climbed 150% and hospitalizations have jumped 69% over the past two weeks. On Thursday the state reported more than 2,500 new positive cases, the highest total for a single day in nearly three months. About 56.7% of 20 million residents are fully vaccinated.

Good. About time they get banned the unvaccinated from places. Keep them out of the concerts, bars, and schools.

I mean fair. They're in the red as far as rising cases.
