New mandates may be in your area as the pandemic continues...In New York,
reports some restaurant workers
about the mandate. Jeremy Wladis, in the food business, was worried by the change. "It's going to make it difficult, without a doubt," he said. "It may be a little fast. It may be a little strong. And as usual, it's 'get the restaurants to be the policeman.' I mean, the vaccines just became available for children recently, and I can't imagine all kids have had the opportunity to get vaccinated."Some wished this mandate was put in place later on. Andrew Rigie, executive director of the New York City Hospitality Alliance, said, “I don’t know what the exact difference would be of this smaller segment of the population to have this implemented now versus postponing it just a little bit,” he said.Mayor de Blasio believes the new mandate will withstand legal challenges. He said, “We’ve been in court many times on a variety of issues, state court, federal court,” he said. “We have, every single time, been validated by the courts.”
