Enforcement of the new program will begin on Monday, Sept. 13. The rule also applies to indoor entertainment and performances.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said he knows some will not agree with the measure, but he said will be lifesaving, as it will guarantee a higher level of vaccination. 

Customers will be required to use the Excelsior app, the city's digital app or show a paper card to enter indoor venues.
