New Yorkers who enjoyed the peace and quiet of the United Nations’ virtual General Assembly meeting last year can expect to face some heavy traffic today as dozens of world leaders, including President Joe Biden, converge on the city.

The greater concern, though, appears to be preventing the meeting from becoming a COVID super-spreader event.

New York City officials have requested that leaders show proof they are fully vaccinated before entering the U.N. hall for the opening ceremonies.

“We are concerned about the U.N. event being a super-spreader event…. We need to take all measures to ensure that it does not become a super-spreader event,” said U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

The General Assembly’s president supports the vaccination requirement.

But there has been opposition from Russia, with that country’s U.N. ambassador calling it a discriminatory measure.
