Coronavirus Resources for Travelers
Updated 3/1/2024
WHILE IN NEW YORK
Call ahead and check websites and social media to make sure attractions and amenities are open and available.
The CDC recommends staying home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory virus symptoms that aren't better explained by another cause. These symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among others. If you test positive for COVID-19, call the following numbers for information on treatments and other assistance:
1-888-364-3065 (All of New York State)
1-212-COVID19 (212-268-4319) (New York City only)
MASKS & VACCINATION
Wearing a well-fitting face mask or respirator (i.e. KN95, KF94 or N95 or higher rated mask) completely covering your nose and mouth and staying current on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters can help keep you and the communities you are visiting safe.
Masks and proof of COVID-19 vaccination continue to be required in all cities, localities, and private businesses that choose to require them despite the removal of statewide mandates. Businesses and venues may require COVID-19 safety measures for some or all events they host.
Please be respectful of the request to put on a mask properly covering both nose and mouth, or other COVID-19 safety mitigation requirements, at an attraction or in a place of business.
Visitors to NYC who are interested in finding mask-required venues and events can find relevant information on the NYC Mask Guide site (note: clicking this link will take you to a separate website created by local residents, these listings are not curated by I LOVE NY).
INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
As of May 12, 2023, international visitors are no longer required to show proof of vaccination to enter the United States.
