In a change of plans, Erie County has rescinded a planned vaccination requirement for attendance to Buffalo Bills games, according to County Executive Mark Poloncarz. Earlier in the spring, the county had announced that it would require all attendees to be vaccinated against COVID-19. That stance put them at odds with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who mused that the county didn’t have the authority to set such a requirement.
It seems that the legal argument is moot, at least for the time being. As Poloncarz remarked in his latest briefing, the current state of coronavirus in Western NY is encouraging: four confirmed cases out of thousands of tests in the last few days.
