Cuomo introduces vaccine segregation in baseball stadiums

New York, New Jersey and Connecticut announced on Monday that they will lift most of their pandemic restrictions, allowing some sort of normalcy to return after more than a year of restrictions that limited the capacity of restaurants and bars, sports and entertainment venues. and cultural and religious gatherings. Now, in an effort to get everyone vaccinated, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo is offering free vaccines at baseball games.

Cuomo announced at a press conference Wednesday that his administration is partnering with two Major League Baseball teams, including the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, to vaccinate fans at games. In return, fans will receive a "free ticket".

So the governor also noted a new segregation policy:

Starting May 19, full capacity seating at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field will be available for fully vaccinated individuals. For the unvaccinated, the ability will be 33% to comply with the CDC's social distancing rules. Masks will be required for all fans. therefore the vaccinated will be twice as likely to have seats at the match, or their tickets will cost a third.

“For the reopening of baseball on May 19th, two different categories, non-Yankees, Mets [but] vaccinated and unvaccinated. Vaccinated people, normal capacity, normal seating for vaccinated people. We ask them to wear masks. For unvaccinated people, the six-foot distance applies with masks, ”Cuomo said in his press conference.

Cuomo's decision raised some questions for fans…
