New York Mayor Bill de Blasio will allow people to celebrate New Year’s in Times Square this year — under one condition. After the event was closed to spectators a year ago, the public can return this year — so long as they have full proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test.
Anyone over age 5 will have to bring a photo ID along with proof of vaccination to enter Times Square. Children under five must be accompanied by a vaccinated adult. Those who are unvaccinated must wear a mask.
