All large public gatherings requiring a city permit that are scheduled to take place in New York City through June are canceled, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday. The event ban was announced three days after de Blasio made a similar decree for gatherings scheduled to take place in the city in May.

"These kinds of community events, we love them, but they're not what we need right now," de Blasio said during a news briefing Monday morning. "We have to also recognize when thousands and thousands of people gather in one place, of course that goes against everything we're trying to do with social distancing and shelter-in-place, and everything we're trying to do to bring ourselves back."

The events covered under the ban include those permitted by the city and deemed nonessential, including parades, concerts and rallies. The city's Celebrate Israel Parade, Puerto Rican Day Parade and Pride March are among the affected June events.
