San Francisco announced on Thursday that proof of full vaccination would be required for entry to restaurants, gyms and other indoor venues, aiming to curb a new wave of COVID infections that has prompted public health mandates across the country.
San Francisco, which launches its mandate on Aug. 20, is the second major city to issue a sweeping vaccine requirement for indoor businesses after New York, which only requires proof of one vaccination dose.
As the start of the academic year coincides with a dire new wave of COVID-19 cases, schools have quickly become the focal point of the nation's political fight over masking and vaccine mandates., where some school districts had said they would not require masks, Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat, issued an order on Thursday requiring face coverings in indoor school settings.
The Delta variant appears to be flattening the pace of the U.S. economic recovery after a big upswing in the first half of 2021, according to Oxford Economics U.S. Recovery Tracker. "Our frontline health care heroes are finding themselves stretched thin and physical and mental exhaustion is taking its toll," Florida Hospital Association President Mary Mayhew said in a statement on Tuesday, adding that people in their 20s and 30s were being hospitalized with the virus.
