Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced new city rules on Monday aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19, and the upcoming mandate will impact the Celtics.
Starting on January 15, proof of vaccination will be required to enter business and venues across the city, and city workers will be required to receive a vaccine if they want to remain employed, according to the Boston Herald.
The minimum for proof of vaccination will be one dose as of January 15, and will increase to two doses on February 15.
This means that all Celtics players must be vaccinated in order to play home games. Similar policies are in place in New York City and San Francisco.
Add Boston to the list of cities where the home team’s players will be required to be vaccinated to play. Mayor Wu announced this morning that employees and attendees at indoor entertainment venues must have at least one dose and be fully vaccinated by Feb. 15.
