NEW YORK (Reuters) -New York City will become the first major U.S. city to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination at restaurants, gyms and other businesses, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Tuesday, as the nation grapples with the rapidly spreading Delta variant.
With vaccines widely available, political leaders were combating the latest surge in infections with shots and masks rather than ordering businesses to close and Americans to stay home as they did last year. (Graphic of U.S. cases) https://tmsnrt.rs/2WTOZDR

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has agreed to pay a $22,792 city fine issued by the city s Ethics Commission for several ethics violations committed while in office, according to reports.
Breed agreed to pay the fine for incidents that shed a light on the mayor s personal and political dealings, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The allegations included asking former California Gov.
