Still, the COVID pandemic curfew remains in place for restaurants. Capacity is still limited to 50% in the city.
This is due to concerns about a more contagious COVID variant.
However, the latest data shows cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in New York City.
Travel is on trend. More than a million passengers a day have been selected at TSA checkpoints nationwide over the past two weeks.
This is how vaccinations now reach four million a day across the country.

Blasio’s mayor says the city is well on its way to an important milestone.
“I think, you know, we’re going to achieve that goal of five million people who are fully vaccinated: New Yorkers in June and summer,” he said. “I think you can see that this is a place where you can come and do a lot of great activities, a lot of great cultural activities, outdoor dining and a lot of other things and be safe, and so I think it will be an important part of our recovery. “.
The mayor said that in light of the good data, parents can continue to opt for face-to-face learning until Friday.
In addition, the city will stop using the two-case rule to close schools.
“Leaving two cases will lead to the opening of schools much more consistently,” he said.
The substitution of the two-case rule is not yet known. Still, schools chancellor Meisha Ross Porter said the district will focus on handwashing, wearing masks and social distancing to stop COVID outbreaks, rather than sudden closures.
“Consistency will work wonders for instruction, with no interruptions due to building closures, teachers will be able to continue to connect more deeply with students and better understand their academic needs,” he said.
On Tuesday, vaccine eligibility extends to anyone over the age of 16 in New York State.
