Current COVID Regulations for Businesses:
Governor Hochul’s mask or vaccine mandate ended last week, but Key to NYC vaccination requirements are still in effect. Individual businesses can implement their own mask requirements if they wish, but masks are no longer required in businesses such as grocery stores, retail, hardware stores, etc.
Key to NYC – proof of vaccination required for indoor dining, indoor fitness, and indoor entertainment (both customers and employees)
Everyone 5+ must now show proof of full vaccination (defined as two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of Johnson & Johnson)
Age 18+ – must also show proof of identification
Refer to NYC Commission on Human Rights with any questions about reasonable accommodations.
Private Sector Workplace Vaccine Mandate – workers in New York City who perform in-person work or interact with the public in the course of business must show proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Workers will then have 45 days to show proof of their second dose (for Pfizer or Moderna vaccines)
