Mayor Adams gives exemption green light for unvaccinated athletes, performers in New York City

Mayor Eric Adams announced that all unvaccinated entertainers, including athletes, comedians, singers and dancers, will be allowed to perform in New York City during a press conference at Citi Field Thursday morning. He also said the exemption extends to all workers at the venues where these take place.

During the press conference, Mayor Adams emphasized the exemption didn’t just apply for professional athletes like Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets or any unvaccinated players on the Mets and Yankees. All the stadium workers who previously were unable to work due to their unvaccinated status would be able to do their jobs.

Mayor Adams cited the economic opportunities for the city as a big reason why this group was prioritized for exemption. Unvaccinated people will be able to attend events, spending money that will help both the workers there and the city itself grow financially.

According to Adams, this exemption will help a lot with eliminating unemployment.
