New York will require all private sector workers in the city to be vaccinated against Covid-19, in what would be the strictest vaccine mandate to be imposed anywhere in the US.
纽约将要求该市所有私营部门员工接种新冠疫苗，这将是美国本土实施的最严格的疫苗命令。
Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday the new rule would go into force on December 27 and would apply to all private companies regardless of size. His office will release a set of protocols applying to about 184,000 businesses on December 15 providing further details of the mandate, such as enforcement and penalties for non-compliance. De Blasio said there “will not be a testing option as an alternative” to being vaccinated, as was being proposed by the Biden administration as part of a separate nationwide plan.
纽约市长白思豪周一表示，新规定将于12月27日生效，适用于所有私营企业，无论规模大小。他的办公室将于12月15日发布一套适用于约18.4万家企业的协议，提供进一步的命令细节，如执行方式和对违规行为的惩罚。白思豪说，“检测不会成为（接种疫苗的）替代选择”，拜登政府曾在另一项全国计划中提出这一建议。
The mayor said the mandate was being imposed to slow the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant that had threatened to exacerbate infection rates in the city, which had almost doubled in the past month.
纽约市长表示，实施这一命令是为了减缓Omicron变种的传播，该变种有可能加剧该市的感染率。过去一个月纽约市的感染率几乎翻了一番。
