NEW YORK (AP) — New York will lift more COVID-19 rules once 70% of adults have at least one shot of a COVID-19 vaccine. That’s a target Gov.

A smaller percentage of New York’s entire population of 20 million residents, including children, have received at least one dose: so far, 56% or 11 million residents. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says the city host a massive Central Park concert on a yet-to-be announced date in August.
