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.

What to Know: U.S. Travel Restrictions
Beginning today, international visitors who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus can enter the United States by air or across the land borders with Canada and Mexico.
Here’s the latest →
The new policy ends an 18-month ban on nonessential travel from 33 countries, including China, Brazil and European Union members. The ban had affected tourists and those hoping to visit family and friends in the U.S.
The rules reorient the U.S. approach to vetting its visitors during the pandemic.
Instead of basing entry decisions on travelers’ countries of origin, the U.S. is focusing on vaccination status.
International visitors flying into the U.S. now need to show proof of vaccination before boarding and a negative coronavirus test taken within three days of their flight.
The three vaccines available in the U.S. — Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson — are accepted, as are vaccines cleared for emergency use by the W.H.O., including AstraZeneca and Covaxin.
Unvaccinated foreign visitors cannot enter the country, with limited exemptions.
Unvaccinated Americans returning home need to test negative for the coronavirus within one day of their flight and show proof they have purchased another test to take after arriving.
The hope is with these longstanding bans being lifted, the U.S. tourism industry will start to recover. The halt on travel caused a loss of nearly $300 billion in visitor spending, according to the U.S. Travel Association.
Keep up with the latest travel news, trends and feature stories.

Undocumented Spouses: A judge paused a Biden administration program that could offer a path to citizenship to undocumented immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens, ruling in favor of 16 Republican-led states.
Texas Stopped Busing in June: Gov. Greg Abbott’s program forced Democrats to talk about the border. But a dramatic drop in the number of migrants has left the buses idle.
