With NYC case numbers continuing to decline significantly, all NYC Department of Health indicators showing decreasing activity, and the Federal government declaring an end to the public health emergency on 11th May 2023, the foundation is making the following adjustments to our COVID protocols effective March 27, 2023.
- Testing will no longer be mandatory upon return from international travel, whether personal or business.
- Gateway (i.e. pre- program) testing will no longer be mandatory for large (>50) multi-day events with external attendees.
- Event participants who wish to self-test may request and pick up COVID-19 rapid tests from the 162 5th Avenue lobby reception on an as-needed basis, as long as the current stock allows.
- Masking will no longer be mandatory in group settings or restrooms.
- Staff is welcome to continue masking in any setting at any time if they so choose. Please respect your colleagues’ choices as to where and when they wish to mask.
