“We need a strong, clear approach,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday during a press briefing. “This is about keeping people safe and stopping the delta variant.”
The highly contagious delta variant, first identified in India, now makes up 69% of tested cases in New York City, data show. Delta has driven a recent increase in cases, especially among the unvaccinated.
The city reported a seven-day average of 597 confirmed and probable cases on July 19, double the level on July 6. Meanwhile, the city’s vaccine administration rate has plunged to less than 15,000 a day, from more than 100,000 a day in mid-April.
