De Blasio Warns Tighter COVID Restrictions Coming In NYC

Even tighter coronavirus restrictions could be right around the corner in New York City.  

Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked at what point he thinks the city should shut nonessential businesses and indoor dining.  De Blasio responded saying he’s been having those discussions with the governor.

“These indicators are troubling. The situation is getting more serious. Look, if these indicators don’t level off soon, I think all options are on the table.”

The Mayor predicts December and January will be challenging but a little beyond that should get easier.

“So this is our last big push we can get through soon to the point where more and more New Yorkers get vaccinated and we turn the corner.”

The mayor again is urging folks not to travel for the holidays.
