As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe, more than 5.2 million people have died from the disease worldwide, including over 788,000 Americans, according to real-time data compiled by Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering. Just 59.9% of the population in the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday announced a vaccine mandate for all private sector employees. On the talk show "Morning Joe," the mayor called the mandate, which goes into effective Dec. 27, a "preemptive strike."
New York City will also now mandate two vaccine doses, instead of one, for indoor activities, and will require proof of vaccination for indoor dining for kids ages 5 to 11. - ABC News
