Schedules for coronavirus vaccination scheduled for Monday have been postponed due to the impending snowstorm, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Sunday – along with the suspension of in-person schooling and alternative side parking.
At least 14 to 16 inches of snow is ready to cover New York starting Sunday night and continuing through Tuesday, the mayor predicted during a City Hall press briefing.
“Fourteen to sixteen centimeters would be pretty bad,” he said. “It could be much more than that.”
With the storm subsiding, de Blasio announced that all coronavirus vaccination schedules scheduled for Monday will be rescheduled, with a call for Tuesday’s appointments not yet made.
“The last thing we want to do is urge seniors to come out in the middle of such a storm,” he said.
In addition, in-person courses in public schools have been canceled for Monday, with courses being moved online.
As with vaccination schedules, a call for Tuesday’s classes has not yet been made, de Blasio said.
Alternative side parking was suspended on both Monday and Tuesday, he said.
