HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Spencer Platt / Getty New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has made the decision to require a vaccination mandate for all private-sector workers in the metropolis, citing the dangers of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus as the reason.

US braces for continued surge in coronavirus cases, hospitalisations
As newly reported cases of the coronavirus continued to spike across much of the United States, breaking records for hospitalisations, some local leaders are moving to enact more stringent restrictions.

That number is still about 60 percent lower than the comparable day last year when 2.88 million passengers were screened, the highest ever recorded by the agency. Health officials say they are now preparing for a wave of cases over the next two or ...

NYC Sets Up More COVID Checkpoints Around The City

Good move, Mr. Mayor. “If you come here, you must quarantine,” de Blasio said on W...
