'I'm trying to fill up office buildings.' Mayor Adams wants city workers back in the office to help on the road to recovery. JohnBDias reports
"Interaction, it's very important for mental health," another worker added. According to recent city data, COVID cases are now deemed"stable," and the positivity rate is decreasing, now at 8.5% over a seven-day average. "Every time you turn around, something else is coming out," one person said. "The longer you stay away from the office, the more that you are training your boss how they can live without you," he told CBS2.
The mayor added that exceptions will be made in some circumstances, but he hasn't gone into specifics just yet, nor has he said what the punishments will be if workers refuse to go back.
