[DeBlasio] said after June, the city will assess if measures like mandatory mask-wearing are still necessary. "I think some institutions are going to choose to [have vaccine passports]," he said. "The key is to get people vaccinated ... this is the single most important thing for all of us to do."

While de Blasio said his focus is not on the rest of this school year, but rather the summer and providing free activities for kids throughout the city, he is confident that schools will be fully back in person in September, with enough staff.
