Photos: New York is rattled by a stunning virus spike
LA TimesJust a few weeks ago, New York seemed like a relative bright spot in the U.S. coronavirus struggle. While health officials say there are important reasons why it’s not spring 2020 all over again, some Broadway shows have abruptly canceled performances, an indoor face mask mandate is back and testing is hard to come by. “Everywhere you go, there’s a line.” As officials and health experts urged people to get not only tests but vaccine booster shots, an hourlong line for either one formed at a privately run pharmacy in lower Manhattan. The 130,000 daily tests at city- Crowds will once again fill Times Square this New Year’s Eve, with proof of vaccination required for revelers, Mayor Bill de Blasio said. People talk with a Radio City Music Hall worker after the Rockettes’ performance was canceled.
