Mayor of New York Eric Adams your policy this week is that unvaccinated athletes and performers will be allowed to do their work with permission in the future.
This is good news for the superstar of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team, among others Kyrie Irvingillewho has not been able to play home games this season.
Even earlier, Adams was of the opinion that granting an exemption to stars like Irving would “send the wrong message” to the townspeople.
New York is pulling a tight vaccine line. Many city workers have lost their jobs because they have not agreed to take the vaccine.
Now, however, Adams shook his head. He justifies the recent decision by wanting to put New York athletes and performers “on the same playing field” as other competitors.
