July 26, 2021 Infections increase and vaccinations do not rise. These are the points that worry the US government under the Biden administration. This is why travel restrictions remain in effect. The news was reported by the Bloomberg agency, citing sources from the White House. The US administration is under pressure from foreign governments, airlines and some members of Congress to ease restrictions on foreigners' entry into the country. The White House has repeatedly reiterated that easing will be decided on the basis of health data. 

Virologist Anthony Fauci spoke about the pandemic in recent days, saying that half of Americans have not yet been vaccinated. "Right now it is really a pandemic among the vaccinated - says Fauci -. It is as if we had two Americas ».

To slow the rush and push the virus vaccinations the mayor of New York Bill de Blasio announced the requirement of the vaccine for all public employees of City Hall workers. The American media reported this, citing some sources, according to which the official announcement will arrive shortly. Employees will have to get vaccinated by school reopening in mid-September or to undergo weekly tests.

Last week de Blasio announced a similar decision regarding public health workers. The new requirement would apply to around 340,000 municipal workers, including teachers and police officers. The deadline of 13 September, when about one million students are expected to return to the classrooms, has a double meaning: the reopening of schools and the resumption of the Big Apple.
