“We need to send a message to the world.” The New Year’s show in New York’s Times Square will not be canceled due to a coronavirus

“We want to show that we are moving forward, and we want to show the world that New York is fighting to overcome it,” said de Blāzio, whose last day as mayor is December 31.

Last year, due to the pandemic, it was forbidden to celebrate and celebrate in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, but this year, officials have allowed a small gathering.

While other U.S. cities, including Atlanta, have canceled New Year’s Eve celebrations, de Blāzio said in an interview with NBC Today that New York’s high vaccination coverage allows people to gather in Times Square, provided people wear masks and social distance.

“We need to send a message to the world. New York is open,” the mayor said.

With the spread of the coronavirus omicron, an average of more than 265,000 new cases of Covid-19 are reported per day in the United States.

New York reported more than 39,590 new cases of Covid-19 on Tuesday.

De Blāzio said the response was to step up the vaccination campaign, saying 91% of New York adults had received at least one dose of Covid-19.

Eric Adams, a former African-American police officer who will be a Democrat, will take the oath of office in Times Square on Saturday.
